The staff of the Iowa Conference UCC believes strongly that young people are the church NOW. We also believe that their leadership is best realized when called and confident adult leaders make faith formation of young people and their families a priority in local congregations. We host events, workshops and trainings in order to connect local churches with the resources they need to create thriving youth and young adult ministries. See our calendar for upcoming events.
Do you just want a sounding board for your ideas related to youth and young adult ministry? Coaching about what you are planning next? Or a workshop in your local church? Just contact Nicole Havelka, associate conference minister for youth and young adult ministries. That’s what she’s here for!
