PCA NEXTGEN
Student Ministry is a challenging ministry in our churches. It is messy, unpredictable, and challenging to find people to lead and disciple our Middle and High School students. Yet, it is an important and vital ministry in our churches. God calls us, in Psalm 78, “Tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonders He has done.” God uses Student Ministry in our churches to come alongside parents, the primary discipler of their children, and the elders of the church to disciple the next generation. PCA NextGen is your denominational ministry whose heart is to serve you, your church, and your student leaders in the high calling of reaching Middle and High School students for Christ. Whether your Student Ministry is led by volunteers, part-time staff or full-time staff we want to encourage, equip, and empower your leaders in this ministry. We have 3 opportunities for your leadership to engage with PCA Next Gen:
PCA NextGen Certification: Covering 12 topics, this certification will equip, empower, and encourage your leaders in ministry. They will work through and think through topics such as their philosophy of ministry, their mission and vision, how to lead leaders, growing in their teaching, how to minister to parents, and more! We started our first class in the Fall of 2023 and as they come to the end of their course, they have shared with us time and again how much this has encouraged and equipped them to develop and think through areas of ministry that they needed to evaluate. If you or someone in your church would benefit from additional training, this certification will grow you in your ministry to students. Applications are now open and our next round of classes starts in September 2024! Click here for more information: https://certification.pcacdm.org/
PCA NextGen Conference: October 21-23, 2024 at Chapelgate in the Baltimore, MD area. Our conference started in 2023 in Michigan with a great response from those who came. It was truly an encouraging time to be together and to grow in our leadership and networking in ministry. We are excited to come together this year for a great time of equipping and encouragement with Rev. Thurman Williams as our keynote speaker and David and Jonathan Harris leading us in worship. We will have seminars and great connection time as well. Learn more and signup today HERE!
