Additional Training

Adult Volunteer Training

Adult volunteers are essential to a well-run youth program. That’s why FLS is pleased to announce that we have partnered with Dr. Gary Gramling to offer targeted sessions to encourage and equip your leadership team! This year there will be five sessions including:

  • The joy of youth ministry
  • Leading an effective small group
  • How to engage parents 
  • Counseling strategies

 

These sessions are open to any youth worker, even if you’re not bringing students to FLS! The cost is $15 per adult. Scholarships are available.

Students Preparing for Vocational Ministry

If one (or more) of your students has surrendered to ministry, it means God has called you to play a vital role in preparing them for the future. We want to help! Dr. Rusty Wheelington and Rick Justice have both given their lives to the ministry and have trained ministry bound teenagers for years. They will be leading a special group for these students throughout the week. They will look at topics such as:​​

  • How do I know I’m called?
  • Different types of vocational ministry
  • How do I get started?
  • ​How to care for yourself in ministry

 

Let us know if you have any students who would benefit from this track!
