The Heartland Church Network invites you to attend the National Day of Volunteer Youth Ministry Training on Saturday, September 24. It will be held at the Heartland Church Network from 9 am to 11:30. Here are some of the things to love about this training:
  • Short TED talk style training sessions covering practical skills, theology, culture, & discipleship from veteran youth workers and leading voices in youth ministry
  • Great discussion of the content with other student workers
  • Networking with local student ministry leaders and volunteers
  • You WILL grow and be challenged as a leader
  • Your volunteers will feel empowered and equipped to minister to teenagers
     The beautiful thing is this amazing training is being provided completely free of charge to our churches and leaders in the Heartland Church Network!

A Note from the Founders

     This training day has become the HIGHLIGHT of our year! We LOVE this event because about 20,000 volunteers attend this special day of training… and we love volunteers. Why? Because healthy volunteers are the backbone of a healthy youth ministry. You are so very important to the church, the youth ministry, families, and the teenagers you connect with. THANK YOU for what you do and for being the type of leader who is open to watching and being willing to learn!

     As a volunteer, the impact you make on teenagers is immeasurable. We realize that quantifying your impact on a young life isn’t always something you can see, feel, or realize right away... right? Teenagers aren’t the best at assuring you with the positive feedback you need, reminding you that you’re making a difference and to keep going. But we have been around youth ministry long enough to know that teenagers NEED caring adults like yourself to come alongside them. We also know that God IS and CAN do amazing things through your willingness to follow Jesus and serve teenagers. Again, THANK YOU for doing something most adults in the church don’t want to do… hang out with teenagers.

     For the 3rd year in a row, we’re thrilled to provide you training from some of the most experienced youth workers on the planet. We have some veteran voices who have been part of the National Day of Volunteer Youth Ministry Training before and we’re thrilled to introduce you to a couple of new voices that we’ve come to know and love. There is a lot of wisdom and experience represented in the men and women who will be teaching you. This group we’ve assembled is passionate in their love for Jesus and their love and concern for you as you serve teenagers. Obviously, we can’t cover all the issues that you’ll be dealing with this coming year, but we’re dealing with enough to get you started. If you want additional training, we have you covered all year long at YouthMinistryUniversity.com with dozens of topics/teachings you’ll need to be more effective at what you do.
