Think Orange
Think Orange offers free resources through its blog, providing guidance and insights for church leaders, parents, and caregivers on nurturing the faith of the next generation. The blog focuses on practical ministry strategies that bridge the church and home, aligning efforts to support children and students in growing deeper in their faith. Think Orange’s content emphasizes developmentally appropriate, relationally driven, and personally relevant approaches to ministry.
The Orange Theory is built on the concept of blending two influential forces—home and church—to foster vibrant, holistic faith in the next generation. Represented by the colour red, the home symbolizes the love, warmth, and personal investment parents and caregivers bring to a child’s faith journey. The church, symbolized by yellow, provides the light of wisdom, guidance, and communal support through teachings and relationships with mentors and peers. When combined, these two colors create orange, a dynamic partnership where church and home work together to create a cohesive, impactful faith experience. This approach encourages church leaders to align with parents as primary faith influencers, equipping them to reinforce biblical values and support spiritual growth at home. By leveraging both environments, the Orange Theory aims to build resilient, relational, and service-oriented faith in children and youth.
Key topics covered include strategies for building community within ministries, fostering effective parent engagement, and navigating complex theological and social issues in children’s and youth ministry. With contributions from ministry leaders, educators, and family advocates, the blog serves as an accessible resource for churches of all sizes and denominations, offering tools to strengthen church-family partnerships and cultivate lifelong faith in young people.
