Kelly BurnettGenOn Youth Summit Coordinator             Youth Summit 2022July 10-16, 2022 @ Johnson University in Knoxville, TN For students completing grades 8-12, college-aged young adults, and the adults who love and support them. Two years ago, we gathered in Colorado and West Virginia for GenOn Summit 2019.  It was, as usual, a wonderful experience of living together in Christian Community.  With a pandemic sweeping the globe, the leadership was forced to make the difficult decision to postpone the Summit until the summer of 2022.  This forced hiatus has given rise to the creation of one...

Visiting Churches Encourages Conversations

By Liz Perraud, Executive Director, GenOn Ministries I spent a great deal of 2016 on the road visiting LOGOS churches. All this travel allowed me to see and experience LOGOS in action--in churches and at both youth summits--to worship with churches, and to enjoy relationship building over breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. It was a blessing to have so many in-person conversations with pastors, educators, LOGOS directors, and lots of church volunteers. The best conversations were on long walks and airport drives.
