Now more than ever, it is becoming crucial that we take serious the need for our churches to invest into the ongoing equipping of our leaders who are called to reach and engage this next generation with the person and message of Jesus.

This highly practical program will span the period of 18 months in which the participants will receive three 3-day Retreats, 2 on-site 3-day trainings and more. Each module will be facilitated by CBOQ Next Generation staff along with invited youth ministry professors and ministry leaders from across Canada.

Each participant will be paired up with a veteran youth ministry mentor for monthly coaching sessions, be given access to youth ministry resources, and have an opportunity to network with other ministry leaders through their cohort experience.
