4th Annual Purely Canadian Youth Workers Conference
"Wreckage"
October 15-17, 2010
|
|
We're excited to host our 4th annual Purely Canadian Youth Worker's Conference. This conference is designed for those ministering to teenagers in Canada- for pastors and volunteers - in both urban and rural settings.
Our theme this year is hard-hitting as we want to provide tangible information that will help you work through the "WRECKAGE" we see in the lives of our youth. We are excited to tackle the "tough issues" so that you can be more effective in your ministry. Whether you are full-time youth pastor or a volunteer lay youth worker, our desire is to give you some tools that will help you in sharing the Gospel and connecting with today's youth.
Our special guests, speakers, presenters and artists will be sharing on issues such as sexuality, addictions, self-harm, divorce, social justice and much more. We are also featuring topics on youth programing, Bible teaching, activities, music and technology. Breakout session summaries can be found in the brochure, but titles can be found below.
