Youth and Family Ministry Summit

The Youth and Family Ministry Summit is hosted by the V. P. Black College of Biblical Studies and the Cloverdale Center for Family Strengths for youth and family ministers who desire to enrich their ministry, expand their minds, extend their influence, and explode their growth.

We have embedded within the 2013 Faulkner Lectures a Youth and Family Ministry Summit (YFMS) to be held during March 4-7. We recognize at Faulkner University that youth and family ministry performs a crucial service in the Lord's church. We want to help equip and encourage youth and family ministers. We will be covering a number of practical and theological topics during the YFMS:

"How to Build a Youth Program with Volunteers" (David Baker)

"Innovative Ideas for Teaching Teens" (Andrew Jenkins)

"The Biblical Foundations for Youth and Family Ministry" (Jeremy Hinote)

"New Songs for Youth Groups" (Jon Podein)

"Let's Get Real with Ministry" (Dale Jenkins)

"How to Plan a Youth Mission Trip from Start to Finish" (Mike Whisenant)

"Working with the 'Other Guys' on the Ministry Team" (Paul Spurlin)

"Ministry and Technology" (Joey Sparks, Scott Bond Jr., Daniel Howell)

Additionally, keynote speakers will address theologically rich Bible stories designed to comfort, to convict, and to convert.

“The Story of the Rich Fool” (Scott Tillman)

“The Story of the Lord’s Vineyard” (Bruce McLarty)

“The Story of a King’s Compassion” (Lonnie Jones)

“The Story of the Poor Man’s Ewe Lamb” (Bill Watkins)

“The Story of the Laborers in the Vineyard” (David Shannon)

“The Story of the Two Debtors” (Phillip Hines)

The conference will also include panel discussions on important topics, provide networking opportunities, and additional opportunities for spiritual enrichment.
