Learning from each other’s youth
YOUTH ARE EITHER LEADING OR LEAVING
So! How are youth leading?
This is a conference that show cases all kinds of ways youth can and are leading in your churches. 2022 was a great success. IF you would like to see this conference in your area, and IF you have a network of 15 to 20 churches, all denominations welcome, let’s talk! It takes about 9 to 12 months to prepare. Let’s do it!
FLYER to share with youth and parents
Warning!
If you are looking for that conference with the big name motivational speaker and that polished musical act, this is not your conference.
However!
If seeing and experiencing other youth leading, modeling, and mentoring the many ways leadership can look in churches, then keep reading!
“Youth are either leading or they are leaving.” If the church is to survive, now is the time to say to youth, “We need you!” We are often quoted for saying, “Every youth, active or not, needs to hear the words ‘We need you,’ at least twice a year.” YOUTH LEAD features youth and the ways they feel valued for meaningful leadership!
