Teen Curriculum Institute

Home Grown: The UFMCC Teen Curriculum Project
July 7, 2007
8:00am - 12:00pm

As ministry to families, teens and children becomes increasingly critical for every MCC, come learn about a new curriculum that has been created especially for our teens, ages 10-17.  The program is designed to: 

1. Help teens explore questions of faith and life that are common to all adolescents
2. Assist teens in making sense of the Bible for themselves
3. Allow teens to wrestle honestly with doubt
4. Encourage our teens to address the special challenges of growing up in a family and community that faces discrimination
5. Offer freedom to our young people to claim their place as heterosexual, homosexual, or questioning in a predominately LGBT church.

Join us for this institute so that you can discover how to make a teen program work in your congregation, no matter how small your group may currently be.  This program represents our responsibility for the spiritual formation of our future so mark it in your calendar and we will see you there!  Cost: FREE!
