Centennial Celebrations: A Symposium for Christian Leaders

 

A Symposium for Christian Leaders ∙ January 28, 2010

8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., Messiah College Grantham Campus

The Messiah College Centennial Symposium for Christian Leaders will seek to address these questions: How are today’s high school teens and young adults approaching matters of faith? What impact is this emerging generation having upon churches and various faith-related institutions? What visionary ways can leaders in churches, educational institutions, and community organizations use to better connect with the next generation? Pastors, educators, youth workers, denominational leaders, and anyone seeking to better understand the religious lives of teenagers and young adults will want to attend this symposium.
