The YAYA Leadership Lounge is a monthly virtual gathering created for pastors, youth directors, young adult ministers, volunteers, mentors, educators, and others who serve alongside youth and young adults. The Lounge will offer a welcoming and inclusive space for leaders to connect, exchange ideas, discuss real ministry challenges, share resources, and encourage one another in the work.
This is not another formal meeting where participants are expected to arrive with all the answers. It is a collaborative space where leaders can bring their questions, experiences, successes, challenges, and emerging ideas. Together, we will listen for what young people are teaching the church, explore faithful and creative ministry practices, and imagine communities where every young person can experience safety, dignity, belonging, purpose, and the liberating love of God.
Grounded in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, the YAYA Leadership Lounge monthly virtual meet up space will allow youth and young adult ministry leaders to connect, share wisdom, and encourage one another. Join us beginning Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Central Time, and every last Wednesday of the month.
