The youth ministries of our SBA churches gathered together out at camp on May 22-24. This spring retreat is for youth in grades 6-8 and their leaders to enjoy the beauty of creation, dive deeper into following Jesus, worship together, and have some fun as well!

Pastor Kirk Baskin (Faith) and Thomas Schroeder (Balgonie) tag-teamed the chapel sessions as they spoke on trust, which is the theme this year for the retreats and camp. They were also blessed to have Thomas, Luke Moore (Balgonie), and Pastor Liam Punzalan (Heritage) lead worship throughout the weekend.

We’re thankful for all the youth who attended and all the leaders that helped plan and lead to make it such a great weekend!

This is a four-week, online training for pastors and leaders to help you assess your congregation’s evangelism readiness. This training will provide an evaluative framework to help you to recognize gaps you may need to fill and distortions you will want to correct, and it will provide a clearer path forward toward helping your church become more evangelistically faithful. Reframe is not a training that will focus on how to better do evangelism but instead will focus on how to be evangelistic.

• How well equipped is your congregation for the ministry of evangelism?
• How do you evaluate your church’s health in that regard?
• How would you identify equipping gaps in your congregation’s evangelistic faithfulness?

Each training consists of an online, 90-minute session. They will take place each Wednesday in June.

Dates: June 3, 10, 17, 24 (Wednesdays)

Time: 10:00–11:30 a.m. (Pacific)

Training is free for NAB ministry leaders.
