We exist to equip, train and encourage you and members of your youth ministry team. 

We can provide you with assessment tools that will help us create a tailor-made seminar or retreat to meet your needs.   

We worship in a variety of churches, so we are aware of many denominational differences and expectations. 

We can come to you or YOU CAN COME TO US!

          We'll Help You Find Your Way!


LOCAL CHURCHES AND DENOMINATIONAL GROUPS

We will work to meet your specific needs.  We suggest a day session with your staff and an evening session with your volunteers.  

Churches using the CSM model are encouraged to join together to share experiences and expenses.

RETREATS

Sometimes it really helps just to get away from the church building.  We can lead in-depth training weekends.  We can lead creative planning retreats for your student leaders.  We can even lead your youth group during a weekend Spiritual Life Advance. 

COME TO US!

You can come to the mountains of Tennessee.  We will develop a schedule to meet your needs including some fun and relaxation.

PUBLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Don't have time to put together a calendar, newsletter or brochure?  We have several brochures and event publications you will find helpful.  Just tell us what you need.

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT

Don't have a website or maybe it's time to overhaul the old one?  Let one of our skilled team members create a look that will attract and effectively communicate with your target audience.
