Engage and Empower

Many church leaders, parents, and adult members are eager to discover ways to engage and empower young adults in ministry and create meaningful bonds with local church life. But so often, they are at a loss as to where to start or how to begin building relationships. The Young Adult LIFE Tour intends to bring insights and relevant, doable steps toward building young adult ministry now. At the January 26 - 27 tour stop, church members, ministry leaders and young adults from across the Mid-American Union and the North American Division are invited to gather for inspiration and intensive training. Our overarching goal of this event is to equip the generations with the knowledge and tools for engaging each other.

 

For registrants, the tour stop will include: practical training, exclusive resources, inspirational worship, ministry networking, Sabbath meals (breakfast first come first serve and lunch is provided). Our keynote speaker is Benjamin Lundquist. Benjamin is one of the leading voices for young adult ministry in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He currently serves as the young adult ministries director for the Oregon Conference and also leads innovative projects for the North Pacific Union and North American Division, as well as coaching and mentoring many leaders internationally.

 

Registration is FREE with the first 50 registrants receiving a digital copy of Young Adult Ministry Now.

Your presence at the Young Adult Life Tour in Lincoln, NE at the College View Church on January 26 - 27, 2024 would be invaluable. It would signify your dedication to prioritizing and supporting intergenerational synergy and collaboration. Reserve your spot today and register at https://ksneconference.regfox.com/ya-life-tour
