In October, we welcomed 100+ youth pastors representing over 8,000 students to Vancouver, BC for our very first Canadian Youth Pastor Summit. 3 days with some of Canada’s best youth pastors, all gathering for the sake of the next generation. These are some of our favorite moments from our time together.

In this episode, you’ll hear from:

• Youth ministry experts Lisette Fraser, Sid Koop and Jason Ballard.
• Bible researcher, Hakeem Bradley from the Bible Project.
• Long-time pastor and preacher Darrell Johnson.
• And other youth pastors we interviewed live, in the moment from across Canada.

Join Mariah Smith and Jaden Neufeld from the team at CCLN as they walk through this gathering, uncovering themes like key youth audiences to focus on, what Generation Z cares about most, deepening Bible engagement in our youth ministries, the challenges youth pastors are experiencing & what Jesus is inviting them into today. We hope this episode equips and encourages you to do effective, Spirit empowered youth ministry in this time.

Give today to CCLN and help seed a hopeful future for the Church in Canada.
