Do you ever feel like you’re working hard in youth ministry but you’re not reaching your full potential?

In this Critical Concerns Course, Chap Clark, Kara Powell, and Megan Hutchinson share the insights of the latest research and perspectives on youth ministry gleaned from the work of the Fuller Youth Institute, and offered in Chap and Kara’s best-selling books, Deep Ministry in a Shallow World and Deep Justice in a Broken World, as well as Megan’s 8-step recovery program, Life Hurts God Heals. 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.

Ministering in the Trenches to Hurting and Addicted Teens
(Early-Bird Seminars)
Oct 31 10:00 AM-11:30 AM
Pittsburgh
Every youth group has hurting kids who act out through cutting, drinking, smoking, watching porn, eating disorders, and so on. In this seminar we’ll talk about the questions all kids ask, the developmental stuff they face, and practical ways you can make a difference, including the use of an eight-step recovery group that’s proven to work with thousands of students in the church, juvenile treatment centers, group homes, and public schools. They need our help!
