You’ll head back home thinking about everything you’ve learned, and you’ll have fresh energy for your ministry.
Find Your People
The Progressive Youth Ministry Conference is a space for you to be you — a safe place, where youth and children’s workers from progressive congregations and ministries nationwide can gather to share ideas, network, sing and dance, worship, and enjoy the fellowship that comes with shared values.
Share Resources
During Open Source time, you can gather with other youth workers around the issues that you want to discuss. Need new idea for confirmation? Wondering about next summer’s mission trip? How about a middle school curriculum? All these resources and more will be shared around conversations that you create!
Recharge your Spirit
Most importantly of all, PYM is a time and place for you — to worship, rest, laugh, sleep(!), and enjoy God’s love for you.
