A week-long seminar for ministry professionals

This application-based seminar is designed for ministry professionals who minister to and with those in the “Millennial” age range (18-35 years old). Parish pastors, worship leaders, campus ministers, and other curious people are all welcome to apply. Each day will include a particular focus on working with millennials: preaching, discipleship, worship and social realities. On the final day, participants will present their “action plan” for how their work in their context will be different as a result of participating in the seminar.
