Youth Ministry Leader Retreat - May 3 & 4, 2024
The task that we are called to is much more than simply gathering teens. We are called to do something... different... meaningful... and live-changing.
The YML Retreat is a day for all who work with pre-teens and teens (Grades 6-12) to gather for prayer time, tangible experiences, and sharing wisdom with others in the field of Youth MInistry. -
