Ever wanted to know
more about Youth Ministry? Ever felt "called" to Youth Ministry?
WELL, here are two great Continuing Ed programs that can equip
you with the tools you need!
Princeton Forums on Youth Ministry
The Princeton Forums
on Youth Ministry offer an ecumenical, nondegree theological
education for church leaders engaged in ministry with youth.
Participants will enjoy formal presentations by distinguished
lecturers, casual discussion with lecturers and faculty,
extended in-depth seminars relating theological disciplines and
youth ministry, electives on specialized subjects in practical
theology, and reflection with colleagues in small groups.

Presbyterian Youth Connection
Identity, belonging,
and leadership opportunities were the three key needs that
emerged from a study of young people in the Presbyterian Church
(U.S.A.). In response to those needs, the 205th General Assembly
(1993) approved the creation of a new national youth ministry
organization, named the Presbyterian Youth Connection. The
Presbyterian Youth Connection seeks to do just that -- connect
young people to each other, the whole church, and the whole
world through faith in Jesus Christ.

Presbyterian Youth Triennium
Every three years the
Presbyterian Church (USA), Cumberland Presbyterian Church and
Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America gather thousands of
young people together for worship, Bible Study and recreation at
the Presbyterian Youth Triennium – otherwise known as PYT. The
2007 Triennium will be held July 17 – 22 on the campus of Purdue
University in West Lafayette, IN.
PYT is for young
people who will be ages 15-19 years old by July 17, 2007. Adult
advisors must be 21 years of age by this date. A work crew track
is available for college aged young people who would like to
apply to attend and work "behind the scenes."
