In this workshop, you will explore strategies
that fall outside the context of traditional
church-based outreaches to urban youth.
There will be a case study on a successful
community-based organization that is
effecting practical change in the day to
day lives of youth and connecting them to
the local church. You will walk away from
this workshop with an understanding of
community-based organizations and practical
tools that you can immediately put to use in
your ministry.

Faith-based initiatives are still a relatively
new concept. Come and join an exciting and
interactive time of learning as we discover
opportunities and identify potential pitfalls to
working with federal grants.
- Learn the “language”
- Learn the “customs”
- Learn about opportunities

In this workshop you will learn the practical steps necessary to
developing a recording studio as well as explore the additional
opportunities that this creates for your ministry. You will walk
away with tools to get this project underway. We will look at things
like reaching un-churched youth who still want to do music from a
secular perspective and how to disciple them using the studio as an
open door into their lives. We will also explore further outreach and
money making opportunities to fuel your ministry.

Does it seem like you’re always in need of volunteers and you just
can’t seem to find them? Does it seem like the most you can hope
for is that your youth just don’t get in trouble? In this workshop
you will learn important principles that will help you become more
effective in moving youth from the sidelines to the front lines of
urban youth ministry. You will learn how to engage youth in the
process of building a stronger ministry and healthier communities.
You will develop a list of next steps to make a shift from betterment
to development.
