Event Description
Bethel Seminary invites you to a workshop that will equip you with ideas for connecting young people with your church. The goal of this workshop is to help you represent the gospel to a generation who left or never came, build bridges to outsiders, and reopen the front door. Drawing on six years of research in churches that successfully serve young people, guest speaker David Stark will outline how to choose a strategy for your unique congregation. There's good news: many resources lie hidden in plain sight within your church. David will also discuss the mindset of Jesus and the apostles in how they approached outsiders and encouraged them to consider the gospel.
Bring more than one church leader so you can brainstorm together!
Light refreshments will be provided.
