We partner with youth pastors in ministry through student conferences and outreach events-encouraging, motivating, and empowering youth in their walk with Christ.
Student Discipleship Conferences
We offer a weekend discipleship conference for middle school students:
- Ignite is a 24-hour retreat for students in grades 6-9. They come away inspired and equipped to be more effective servant leaders in their churches and schools.
The conference features Greg Speck, an exceptional communicator whose humorous sketches and true-to-life illustrations captivate audiences of all ages. He has a deep understanding of the problems facing today's teens and identifies easily with youth, capturing their imaginations and hearts while helping them understand God's Word.
Presentations are on a 3-year rotation so students can attend more than once.
Vespers
Our weekly Vespers service on Sunday nights in Benson Great Hall is another opportunity for your youth group.
Partnerships and Outside Events
We partner with several area organizations to provide events and training that help equip and empower those who work with youth, including:
- Youth Speaker Greg Speck
- Recharge Youth Leaders Event
- Converge North Central - Each September, Bethel hosts the Youth Pastor Kick-Off Luncheon, presented by Converge North Central. Check our events listing for the next luncheon.
