What Youth Ministry Summit Is
Youth Ministry Summit is a 3-day retreat designed to help you fall back in love with what you do—and how you do it. It’s a space to step away from the weekly grind, gain fresh perspective, and return to your ministry with renewed energy and clarity.
New Connections
One of the most valuable parts of YMS is the people you meet. You’ll connect with youth ministers serving in similar contexts—sharing meals, exchanging ideas, and building relationships that sustain healthy life and ministry.
Practical Ministry Ideas
YMS creates space for real conversations about real ministry challenges. You’ll have opportunities to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from leaders at churches of a variety of sizes and contexts. Through group discussions and focused conversations, you’ll walk away with practical ideas, new perspectives, and tools you can take back home.
Great Teaching
You’ll hear from speakers on a variety of topics specifically aimed at giving you the tools you need to pastor the next generation. Their goal isn’t just to teach—but to connect, encourage, and help you grow in both your calling and your leadership.
