Companions on the Way: A Lenten Journey of Discovery and Discernment

Steve Matthews is leading an upcoming training/formation event for youth ministers and their ministry teams in Richmond. This ecumenical event is sponsored by “Calling Congregations” and the Fund for Theological Education (FTE).

This training will help youth ministers deepen their understanding of what it means to “accompany” youth… not just teach/ instruct/ chaperone them and will also be an introduction to the work of the Fund for Theological education.
