Spring Training is a brand new opportunity for all Great Plains United Methodists who work with youth – youth leaders, Sunday School teachers, pastors, Confirmation mentors, etc. – to be treated like an MVP and learn from a great coach and add to their playbook.

For our inaugural training we had 65 people from 25 congregations come to one of two locations. Friday, April 17 – Saturday, April 18, we were at Trinity UMC in Salina, Kansas. Saturday, April 18 – Sunday, April 19, we were at First UMC in Kearney, Nebraska. Both events started at 6:30 p.m. on the first day and ended at 3 p.m. on the second day.

Each team received a bundle of “major league” resources for use in your ministry.
