The best youth ministries are unique and a reflection of their context. But, as culture changes and youth workers experiment with new approaches and priorities, there’s a small patch of common ground.
It’s not a common program or teaching plan, but a set of values that seem to be shared by ministries that are finding their way in our current reality.
SCMYP is pleased to partner with Mark Oestreicher (Marko) to offer this wonderful training opportunity for youth workers on Monday, April 24. The training will take place on the campus of Spartanburg Methodist College in the Ballard Center (behind Judd Hall – click here for a campus map) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The cost is $20 per person, which includes lunch. Registration is now open, and the deadline to register is April 15. If you have any questions, please email clynch@umcsc.org.
