We know that as a youth ministry leader you are looking for ways to connect and grow too! Next Gen offers opportunities throughout the year for youth leaders to connect with each other, grow in their expertise, and lead in ways that go beyond their local church.
Youth Leader Sabbath
In January, our IGNITE Community Teams are taking a break, and you’re invited! Our IGNITE Community Team members are all dedicated youth leaders in local churches, and to celebrate all the hard work of youth leaders this past year, Next Gen is giving each IGNITE Community Team $500 to have a fun, relaxing, and renewing time together.
As a youth leader, we want to celebrate you too! Email Ryan Clements to find out which IGNITE Community Team is closest to you and join other youth leaders in your area. You’ll meet new colleagues and friends and, most importantly, get to celebrate all the hard word you put in this past year. We hope that you’ll be able to join us!
