Register for the Urban Youth Summit, May 1 from 12 PM to 2 PM
This event is intended for YOUTH ATTENDEES ONLY (not youth ministry leaders, etc).
The afternoon Urban Youth Summit will tackle hard facts of urban life with faith and strategies in a town hall-style discussion that addresses violence, trauma, substance abuse, peer pressure and other concerns. In a safe environment, the youth will voice their ideas on urban challenges, including race relations and internalized oppression, and economic and educational inequalities. And they will begin to envision ways to become effective peers, justice advocates and youth ministry entrepreneurs.
Facilitating the interactive youth summit will be: the Rev. David Piltz, Conference Coordinator of Young People’s Ministries and a campus ministry; the Rev. Jose Tirado, a father of five and pastor of Nuevo Creacion (New Creation) UMC in Lancaster; and Andres Gutierrez, a longime youth leader at Nuevo Creacion.
