The body is a unit,” writes Paul, “though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ” – that is, with all of us who live under Christ's influence. It gets harder and harder to think of life in these terms. The world continually calls us to see our lives individualistically. We focus primarily on my health, my to-do list, my mood. I think easily of my schedule, my achievements, my iPod, my car, my sports, my spiritual life, my ambitions and needs. That's why it's almost shocking to meet someone who looks at life very differently. In this workshop you will hear the dramatic stories of some of those shocking people. They are young and they are old. They are living and they are dead. But they all accepted God’s call to be the church. Why do you need to hear their stories? Because it your story. It is YOUR CHURCH. YOUR CALL.

YOUR CHURCH. YOUR CALL.

God has given you some incredible gifts. It is important to realize that you have been given those gifts for a purpose. The church desperately needs young people that will use their gifts for their intended purpose. The church needs you. This workshop will help you better understand the gifts God has given to you and how you might use those gifts for their intended purpose. It is YOUR CHURCH. It is YOUR CALL.

Each session is approximately 50 minutes.

These interactive and highly experiential sessions can be presented to groups ranging in size from 50 to 1000.

High school students are our primary target audience and Middle School students benefit as well.
