This is an annual event of encouragement and training for persons in youth ministry. It is available for the lead youth ministry workers (fulltime, part-time, or volunteer) in every United Brethren church. About 25 youth persons usually attend.
The Summit is a great time of networking with other youth leaders and being encouraged by others who are in the trenches of youth ministry. They enjoy the beach, the golf course, and incredibly beautiful weather, along with the chance to slow down and step away from the constant demands of youth ministry.

You are responsible for:

  • Transportation to and from Daytona.
  • Meals that are not covered.
  • Hotel incidentals.

Keynote Speaker

This year our keynote speaker is Dave Rahn (right), a nationally known youth ministry expert. He will encourage each of us in our attempt to make a difference for the Kingdom of God among today’s generation of teenagers.

Schedule

The Summit begins with a steak dinner on Monday evening, April 25. It comes to a conclusion (much too early) after the evening session on Thursday, April 28.
