This interactive training is for everyone who wants to take their ministry to deeper levels. You’ll learn to use the Deep Ministry model, critically assess your current ministry, and discover how to incorporate new ideas into your ministry setting that will take your ministry deeper in purpose, leadership, discipleship, teaching, justice work, mentoring, and engagement with kids and culture.

Deep Justice in a Broken World: Helping Students Serve Others and Right the Wrongs Around Them
(Seminar Series #1)
Oct 31 4:00 PM-5:30 PM
Pittsburgh
It probably doesn’t take a long list of statistics to convince you that our world is broken. If you’re like most youth workers, then mission trips, service projects, and supporting children through relief organizations are just a few of the ways that you engage your students in serving the least, the last, and the lost. As helpful as these things may be on the surface, that’s where they remain—at the surface. The problems, however, run far deeper than an occasional paint job or fundraising project can solve. But it’s not hopeless. Deep justice is possible in your ministry. This seminar provides a scripturally grounded paradigm that moves your ministry beyond short-term Band-aids to long-term systemic solutions that benefit both your students and the world around them. You’ll leave with all sorts of practical ideas, which youth ministries are already implementing, that can help your students serve others and right the wrongs around them.
