NEW THIS YEAR: Teen Track
— Summit Ministries
For over 45 years, Summit Ministries has been training students to answer
the challenges they will face to their Christian faith. At the 2008 Convention,
a team from Summit will lead a teen track for students ages 13 and up.
No fluffy stuff here — this highly charged, two-day event will teach students
to navigate through the world of ideas, equipping them with answers to
tough questions and challenging them to engage the significant cultural
issues of our day from a biblical worldview.
