The 'Source begins in 2009 with a new program on Spiritual Formation!

Expanded to meet your ministry needs, The ‘Source is a networking and training opportunity for all who work with young adults and youth!

As adult workers, we are called to participate in the life-changing, soul-shaping work of God in the lives of youth and young adults. The focus for 2009 is Spiritual Formation. Spending time at The ‘Source will allow you to experience and explore a variety of spiritual practices that can be utilized for effective ministry.

Come to The ‘Source! This yearly gathering for people who work with youth and young adults is a place for you to gain skills that will enhance your spiritual leadership capacity, and increase your personal growth. Through workshops, small groups, worship and plenary times you will gain knowledge, inspiration, and the practical tools needed to help guide the young people with whom you are in ministry.
