All of us love to minister to teenagers. We would probably say with Paul, “We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.” (1 Thessalonians 2:8) We at the Reach Students Central District of the EFCA want to come alongside you as you undergo the task of developing spiritual leaders in your high school youth group. I’ve been doing ministry for some time, and I find that leadership development is difficult. We have students who want to go beyond what they learn in youth group, but oftentimes we are not sure exactly what to offer them. That’s where the ELEVATE conference can help. For two days in September, we are going to offer a retreat that is specifically designed to challenge high school students who want to go to the next level. You may have a formal student leadership team, or like me you may just have a few students who have potential. Whatever your situation, we encourage you to bring your students and take advantage of this great opportunity. ELEVATE combines traditional large-group worship and teaching sessions with small-group electives, all within the beautiful nature environment of Hidden Acres Christian Center. If you’ve never brought a group to ELEVATE before, why not give it a try this fall?
