Youth

Hank Hilliard

Hello! I am Hank Hilliard and I am the Director of Young People’s Ministries Development at the General Board of Discipleship. Before coming to the GBOD, I served in the local church both as a Youth Pastor and College/Young Adult Pastor. I am excited to be able to now serve the local church through my work here at the GBOD. You can contact me at hhilliard@gbod.org or find me on Facebook. I also have a group page set up on Facebook for Youth Ministers called “United Methodist Youth Workers.” Please join the group to stay in touch with other Youth Ministers and to keep updated on news and happenings in youth work in the UMC.

Summer Missions Experience
More.
More Jesus. More Missions. More Life.

Serve through meaningful and impactful mission work.
Connect with other United Methodist Churches from around the country.
Grow your youth in their faith and as leaders.

Youth 2011 Sites and Dates!

You think you are ordinary? Think again!!

Throughout the Bible, God chooses seemingly ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
The Story of God is filled with unlikely heroes. The story is still being written, and you have a part to play.
God wants to do extraordinary things through YOU.

YOUTH 2011, more than a gathering
It's a community to know that you are not alone.

YOUTH 2011, more than a concert
It's a communion with our extraordinary God.

YOUTH 2011, more than an event
It's a commission to change your life and your world.
