Youth Summits give to DeHaven Grant
Posted by Liz Perraud at
By Kelly Kaufman Each summer high school youth, young adults, and adult leaders gather together for a week to grow in their faith, in their commitment to Christ, and in community with each other. GenOn Youth Summit West is held in Estes Park, Colorado and GenOn Youth Summit East is held in Wheeling, West Virginia. Participants spend the week experiencing all four parts of LOGOS every day along with dedicated time for mission in the surrounding community. Each year the participants dedicate their Friday worship offering to support a variety of local or national organizations. This year they collectively...

Youth Ministry: All about the relationships
Posted by Liz Perraud at
"What I Wish I Knew When I Started Youth Ministry" is from guest blogger Betsy Hanzelin on Jan Edmiston's Church for Starving Artists blog. You'll find great wisdom whether you've just started or are more than a few years in. Most of the advice applies not only to youth ministry but to those working with children too. The core of what Betsy offers is precisely what we've been saying for more than 50 years...relationships matter. You'll find her idea that as the lead ministry person, your relationship with your students should be at the bottom of the list both challenging and...
