At Home in the Word Conferences

As a follow up from our Synod’s 2022 Sunday School analysis, the Board for Youth Outreach was encouraged to sponsor conferences that teach, equip, and encourage parents for youth discipleship in the home. Our Board is willing to reimburse congregations up to $2,500 in expenses incurred for hosting such events for their local circuit and communities. Resources are available to assist congregations in this endeavor in the form of speaker and topic lists, event planning guides, and budgeting guides. Please apply for your event with form #1 below at least 6 months before your event, and follow up with Form #2 no later than 30 days after your event.
