at St. Christopher Conference Center
From time to time we all need to look again at our vision for ministry, make changes in how we do things, or just take another look at the basics. This training event is for all who lead students (paid or unpaid) and will encourage, challenge, and equip you for more effective ministry.
Guest Speaker: TJ Foltz
T.J. teaches youth ministry as an adjunct professor at Eastern College under Duffy Robbins. Additionally he travels the country as a speaker for conferences, retreats, and church gatherings. T.J. was previously the youth minister at the Church of the Good Samaritan, in Paoli, PA. His ability to encourage and challenge leaders, combined with his understanding of youth ministry will make him an excellent speaker for our first training weekend.
Fri. Schedule exclusively for Youth Ministers
