LCMS Youth Ministry offers a variety of ways we engage and empower young leaders, including YouthLead. For over 40 years, YouthLead has equipped teens to develop and use their leadership skills as they serve Christ within their congregations and communities. In this episode, Mark and Julianna discuss the YouthLead trainings, curriculum and more. They also share an interview from 2021 with YouthLead Executive Team members about the program.
