This retreat is for paid full or part-time youth pastors and will be August 11-13 at Golden Bell. We have had many youth pastors move in the past 2 years from our district. And thanks be to God, we have had several new youth pastors arrive to churches on our District. Every time we get together, we normally have students with us. So this would be a time to get away and really get to know each other; begin to understand each other; and begin the teamwork process.

Activities:

*Monday Night Chuck Wagon Dinner

*We would be doing our own cooking

*Ideas you have

EVENT Coordinator Meeting

I would possibly like to see the event coordinators stay around on Tuesday, and for us to do the detail work for our events for the next 1 to 2 years. So we can have it done; completed, worked on.

Shepherding God’s People 2019
 

This class introduces students to the important task of pastoral care and counseling in the context of the local church. Caring for people is a central part of the role of those who enter the ranks of ordained ministry. Jesus’ words to Peter, “Take care of my sheep” (John 21:16), apply to all who are called to shepherd or pastor.

The class will help students understand and practice the ways of Christian “soul care” in a manner that is comprehensively faithful to the biblical faith and human existence. This “soul care” is not the exclusive responsibility of the ordained clergy, but includes the laity in the ministry of the whole church.
