We would like to officially invite you and your ministry team to the Manchester Church of Christ Youth & Family Ministries Workshop on Saturday, February 20, 2027!
This workshop is designed to bring together individuals who serve in youth ministry, children’s ministry, and family ministry for a day of encouragement, practical teaching, fellowship, and meaningful conversation. Whether you are a youth minister, children’s minister, elder, parent, volunteer, or someone who simply has a heart for helping young people and families grow in their faith, we believe this day will be beneficial to you.
We are excited to welcome three guest speakers who bring different experiences, perspectives, and areas of ministry. One of our goals for the day is to make sure everyone has the opportunity to hear from all three speakers. To accomplish this, we have organized the morning into three breakout sessions, allowing attendees to rotate between speakers.
