Event Description

Are you wondering, "Who am I?" "What is my purpose?" Every young person asks these questions as they navigate life. At Bethel's Youth Theology Academy, we'll help you discover the incredible way God has designed you and how that design leads to a unique and fulfilling purpose.

Join us for an interactive experience where you'll explore your S.H.A.P.E. . . . your Spiritual Gifts, Heart Passion, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences. This is your opportunity to grow in understanding who you are and how you can live out your God-given purpose. Don't miss out on this transformational experience. Embrace your S.H.A.P.E. and step into the life God created for you!

This three-day academy begins with check-in between 8 and 9 a.m. on Monday, June 16, and ends at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 18.

At the Youth Theology Academy, students will:

  • Reflect on the unique way that God has designed them
  • Discover their spiritual gifts by taking the Cokesbury Youth Spiritual Gifts Test
  • Identify how their spiritual gifts, heart passions, abilities, personalities and experiences align with God's purpose
  • Participate in a service project
