Youth Ministry Forum
“Nuts and Bolts: Building a Youth Ministry that Lasts”
It is often said that most construction jobs go so much easier if you use the right tools. Having the right tools and using them correctly can mean you don’t have to come back later to fix it again. That’s our focus this year at Youth Ministry Forum. We’ll focus on some of the basic “nuts and bolts” of youth ministry. We’ll help you diagnose some of the critical components in youth ministry today and identify some of the newest tools to build your youth ministry to last. Join us for this two-day conference designed for professional youth ministers, volunteer youth leaders, summer youth workers and summer youth interns.
