Join other youth from across the conference at Beersheba Springs Assembly for the Youth Lay Speaking Retreat. This retreat is sponsored by the Cookeville and Murfreesboro District Lay Speaking Ministries but is open to all youth who are interested in attending. There is also an adult track for those adults bringing youth to the retreat.
The cost includes materials, housing, and food at the retreat.
We are excited to announce that we have launched a new website for Young Adults in the Tennessee Conference. TNUMCYA.org hopes to be a connecting point for young adult ministries across the conference. On this site you will find information about each of the 8 campus ministries. It is our hope that each of these ministries will contribute to this site with highlights and important dates for their ministry with young adults on each of the campuses they serve. This website will also be a place for churches to submit information about current and upcoming events in there congregation and community.
This will also serve as a place for youth who are transitioning into college to find information about each of the campus ministries the TNUMC offers.
Please join us in praying for the young adults in our communities who do not have a faith community. Please join us in praying for the young adults who are already involved in a faith community and that they will share their faith story with other young adults they encounter in their daily lives.
Youth Ministry is a challenging call placed on a certain few to interact and shepherd young people in their relationship with Jesus Christ. The way that those called to youth ministry serve is varied. In the Tennessee Conference, many of our youth ministers are unpaid, several others are paid part-time by their church, and even fewer are full-time staff. Regardless of pay scale, the challenges of ministry are very similar.
The New Youth Ministry Institute takes all of this into account. Click the Youth Ministry Institute tab at the top of this page to find out more about this exciting training opportunity.
We will start the new YMI Cohort Group in February 2012. This cohort is designed for veteran youth workers who desire a deeper understanding of some of the core issues of youth ministry.
YMI Cohort is a 2 year commitment that will include 6 retreats. Each year will offer 3 retreats on a Thursday noon to Friday noon schedule. Between each retreat, the cohort group will meet at least 2 times a month to discuss life, ministry, and the previous and upcoming retreat. The cohort is designed to build a support community where those participating can feel safe and uplifted while gaining new knowledge.
Dr. Jack Radcliffe, Adjunct Professor of Christian Education at Martin Methodist College, will serves as the Dean of YMI. Jack is completing his coaching certification and will offer his coaching services to those in the cohort who request this component.
If you are a veteran youth worker, we hope you will consider this exciting opportunity to grow, learn, and refuel alongside other youth workers as we build a community of support.
