A Program for Engaging Children, Youth and Adults

Faith Trek highlights God’s mission and provisions for people of all ages as they journey in faith together. It provides several creative and practical entry points for exploring the role of leadership within a call to discipleship. It includes resources for recognizing and responding to the many roles children, youth and adults have been called and equipped to play as they are led to lead others to follow Jesus everyday.

The following outline highlights the various components of this program. Several gathering activities will introduce the theme and content, a large group presentation and celebration will provide a time for celebration, song and prayer and a collection of exercises and activities will prompt participants to explore ways they have been “led to lead.” They provide detailed descriptions and practical support for planning and coordinating one or more events throughout the year.
