Adult Youth Workers

Youth Ministry Gatherings forming in your area!

The Gathering will be a chance for resourcing, sharing, encouraging and networking with other youth ministers. While the United Methodist Church was built on the connectional system, often youthworkers feel isolated and alone. Gatherings will be small communities of youth workers that can engage in each other's lives while sharing the highs and lows of youth ministry.  Gatherings will be spread throughout the conference and will meet on their own schedule.  If you have questions about which gathering might be right for you, or would like to start one in your area, please contact Joy.
