As a connectional ministries team, we are focused on equipping the local church for making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Disciples who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously in local communities and worldwide connections.

For ministry engagement with children, youth, and young adults this will include:

• Celebrating revitalizing ministry occurring with children, youth, and young adults across the connection
• Encourage a culture of call where all generations can live as disciples, using their unique gifts and graces within their congregation and community 
• Equipping laity and clergy so they are empowered to nurture children, youth, and young adults through intergenerational Christ-centered community
• Facilitating collaboration across congregations-locally, regionally, statewide, and jurisdictionally for retreats, camps, leadership development, outreach, missional involvement, and more.
• Providing space for those working with children, youth, and young people to gather, learn, and support one another
• Working across the connection to develop systems that empower young leadership
