The panelists explore the strengths and limits of using technology in ministry with young adults. Panelists

Turnover and Transition: How to Weather the Inevitable Leadership Changes in Ministry with Young Adults (Part 1) It happens quite often: when staff or volunteer leaders transition in or out of ministry with young adults, without preparation and intentionality, there can be ambiguity, conflict, or even a partial or full collapse of the ministry efforts to young adults. This reality has become even more pronounced during the pandemic, as positions are changing and developing due to economic instability and participation uncertainty. This webinar will look at those critical situations and explore creative strategies for ensuring constant ministerial presence and generating sustainability in pastoral leadership. This is part 1 of 2 webinars on this topic. It is free and open to all who minister with young adults. Part 2 will be held on April 29 (see above).
