YOUTH LEADER
weekend
YAA, Bozeman, MT
This year at the RMD Youth Leader Weekend, we are excited to be joined by Ken Castor. He will be leading us through our theme this year of helping our students connect to biblical truths in a life-transforming way! We will be discussing how we as leaders can model this for our youth, habits that the youth can start doing that really stick, and finally, what opportunities we can give our students to live out these biblical truths (doctrine) to impact the lives around them! I think for all of us, we long to see our students take a greater hold of solid doctrine and theology in a way that impacts their life and the lives around them. This weekend will be a chance to connect, be encouraged, and be equipped to do just that!
This retreat is open to anyone who works with Junior High and Senior High students – volunteers, youth pastors, solo pastors, associate pastors, interns, or whatever other awesome title you may (or may not) have! 
The cost of this retreat is only $95 and includes meals & lodging.
Registration is now OPEN!
