Learn skills and strategies for leading a transformational ministry in our interactive workshops and insightful webinars.
A teenager asks why God didn’t answer their prayer. You want to respond with care, but you’re still working through your own questions. How you listen and respond can communicate something about God, even something you never intended.
Designed for those exploring ministry or seeking a stronger theological foundation, this course introduces practical theology: bringing what you believe about God into conversation with what’s happening in people’s lives. Each video includes reflection questions to help you connect what you’re learning to your own experiences.
You’ll get a glimpse of the theological reflection at the heart of the Ministry Leadership Center’s graduate program in youth ministry, with space to consider what you believe and how you hope to lead.

Every church has a set of traditions that guide how they observe and celebrate the Advent season. Many of these traditions are a meaningful way for the community to mark this important season of preparation for the birth of Christ. But most churches and leaders overlook some critical questions about WHY we maintain these traditions from year to year.
This workshop offers a practical and theologically rooted way to reflect on traditions with intentionality as your community plans for Advent this year.

AI is already part of young people’s lives, and it’s showing up in churches, too. What might that mean for the way faith communities lead, nurture faith, and care for people?
Starting a Conversation About Youth, Faith & AI offers a preview of emerging research on AI in church and ministry settings. Through four to six key learnings, the webinar will explore questions this research raises for ministry with young people and the wider faith community.
Whether you serve in youth ministry, senior leadership, or another ministry role, you’re invited to consider what’s emerging and why it deserves thoughtful attention.
