Pastors, Youth Directors, & Other Church Leaders:

This retreat is designed to be an opportunity for you to invite youth in your congregation in which you see specific gifts for future work in professional ministry.  Each church leader (adult) is welcome to bring 1-2 youth from their congregation that they are ready and willing to mentor. This means that youth must have an adult mentor present with them in order to attend this retreat. We encourage you to ask your youth in a way that in intentional and meaningful.
