While we're aware that many churches do their own youth leader training and we are not wanting you to choose our training over your own - we do want to see leaders at every level equipped to do the role they are called to do.
WHAT IS SOUTHERN YOUTH LEADERS TRAINING?

Including multiple different seminars that will equip you with basic skills, workshops that will challenge you and some local (and non local) speakers that will encourage you.
