New denominational high school leadership initiative
The Covenant is developing a new leadership experience for high school students and the Northwest Conference is hosting the pilot! It will be Aug. 24-26 at Lake Beauty Bible Camp. Registration and cost to be announced soon. Here's a taste to what to expect:
Emerge: A high school leadership experience
Leadership at the beginning can be extremely hard because you don't know who you are, what you're good at, or even how God has gifted you-but you know you're supposed to lead. As leaders emerge, it can be a struggle. It takes work, practice, experimentation, failure and evaluation to realize your potential and start using it.
We're here to help you in this process of discovery-to explore how you are gifted and how you can bring those gifts to the forefront and begin to put them to use in a beautiful way. The gifts, passions and beauty of each individual leader have been there all along. We're just helping to clarify, uncover and help you use these newly discovered gifts. This experience provides an effective, engaging student leadership development opportunity by combining practical teaching, hands-on, interactive learning experiences and time for individual reflection, peer-to-peer feedback and group worship.
