FRONTLINE: Training Leaders for Student Ministry
The task of leading and directing an effective youth ministry continues to become more complicated in light of today's changing youth culture. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to attract new students and at the same time keep current students involved. This workshop is designed to help Youth Ministers, Adult Youth Leaders, and Student Youth Leaders to recognize and address the many challenges faced in youth ministry today. Our keynote speaker and all of our breakout session leaders are experienced professionals who will provide you with current and valuable information to help you build an effective youth ministry.
