Word Entertainment has just launched Youth Music Vault, a new service aimed to help youth leaders connect Word's artists with youth group members.

For a $59.99 annual fee, subscribers to the all-digital service will receive six bi-monthly digital issues, each focused on a different Word artist, including mp3s of the artist's CD, Bible studies based on the songs, an illustration video, a video greeting from the artist, music videos, interviews and an online chat with the artist. Additional resources include chord charts, instructional videos, artist posters, game ideas and articles from YouthWorker Journal.

Tim Marshall Sr., vice president of channel marketing for Word Label Group, said: "Youth Music Vault is the first all-digital resource of its kind, and we hope it will enable youth workers to minister more effectively to their students by using these fresh and ground-breaking resources."

The new service was unveiled Friday and Saturday evenings during special presentations to youth workers at Disney's Night of Joy at its Hollywood Studios theme park. The annual event, which began in 1983, features a variety of Christian music artists and groups. This year's lineup featured MercyMe, Chris Tomlin, Skillet, POD, Mandisa, Flyleaf and more.
