See our Statement of Faith

It can't just be theory...

When you're in the wild, you have to deal with the snake! You can't just theorize about how to deal with the snake or read a book about to deal with it.

When it comes to the wild preteens we know and love, we must be equipped beyond theory, too, in order to actually help them develop their own faith in Jesus Christ. In the wilds of early adolescent, it can't just be theory.

We won't just be theorizing at this conference; we'll be DOING. Each session at this year's conference will be one part instructional and one part implementation/workshop/"acting it out."

Get equipped to raise your ministry to preteens to the next level, as we explore what it takes for us to do Ministry in the Wild!
