Ministry Training

Bridge Young Adult Ministry Training Conference
Equipping leaders to connect young adults to God, the church, and their purpose in life

It’s no secret that one of the biggest challenges facing the church today is reaching and retaining 20-somethings. Countless research has been conducted and a numerous amount of books have been written suggesting that the church isn’t doing a very good job connecting with young adults.





My desire is to come along side church and lay leaders and to train them to capture and implement a vision to connect with this generation.
