National Children's & Youth Ministries

"I always leave refreshed and energized for a new year in ministry. This year, I feel that the speakers challenged me in unexpected ways. I leave with a lot to continue chewing on."

This year was all about the deeper connections for me. Just seeing fellow ministers who wanted to be better filled my cup more than I realized I needed.

It exceeded my expectations. It was an awesome week that left me feeling motivated and ready to start this next year in children's ministry.

Every session I attended will help me with the practical planning I need to do to improve my work in youth ministry.

It gave me hope for these next few years for churches and youth ministers. I know there's a huge shortage right now so to see so many people at the conference who love what they do was a breath of fresh air.

The classes were great and I am glad I can listen to the audio links to hear some of the other sessions that I couldn't make it to. I got so many great ideas to take back to implement in our children's ministry. It was also nice to be able to recharge and be with other children's and youth ministers for the week.

NCYM remains a great hub for networking with other youth ministers from our brotherhood. Classes and keynotes always seems timely and practical at the physical and spiritual levels.

The worship times were a great time to recharge my batteries by praising God with my brothers and sisters and being encouraged and inspired by the speakers.
