About FEB Youth Ministry Summit
The FEB Youth Ministry Summit is a two-day conference designed to encourage, equip, and celebrate youth pastors, directors, and youth ministry teams.
Hosted every Fall, The Summit allows teams to start the ministry year together with practical training, biblical teaching, and meaningful connections. While also providing the opportunity to learn from experienced and active ministry leaders who will share ministry-tested insights and practical tools to help you and your team disciple the next generation of Jesus followers.
Grounded in God's Word, shaped by real ministry experience, and led by the Holy Spirit, The Summit exists to strengthen and prepare youth leaders for the year ahead.
