As the world of student ministry continues to change and develop, so do your needs as you serve students. Among all the unknowns and challenges you may be facing, one thing is certain: Every youth ministry is on the verge of something great. This weekend has been created by youth pastors for part-time or volunteer youth pastors and volunteer leadership teams. Every session and workshop is designed with you in mind.

The On the Verge retreat will take place on April 23-24, 2010 at Emmanuel Christian Center. Our guest speaker is Chilly Chilton is a ministry specialist, church planter and lead pastor at REAL Church in Detroit, MI. Chilly will encourage and inspire you in the main sessions and a host of ministers from Minnesota will equip you in number of different workshops.

The cost of the retreat is deliberately minimal so you can maximize your potential! Join youth leaders from all over Minnesota to learn from one another through conversation, worship, ministry training, and interactive learning experiences. Whatever God has in store for you to discover, remember… you’re on the verge.

Please feel free to call or e-mail us if you have any questions.
