By Rev. Mona Candea

When I stepped into the role as Associate Director of NextGen Ministries, I brought my passion for local church ministry with me. My aim in this role is to help the Missouri Conference be the best resource it can be for you – the local church leader – doing the hard work of making disciples and leading our future generations to Jesus.

To that end, this spring the NextGen Ministries staff is headed out to canvass the state. And we want to hear from you!

Join us at an upcoming NextGen Listening Session to share your ideas and vision for NextGen Ministries directly our staff and to help us understand how we can best support you in the future. Any pastor, staff (paid or unpaid), leader and volunteer who works with kids, youth and college-aged ministry is invited to come. The dates and a button to RSVP are below.

Please RSVP promptly because, as any NextGen leader knows, we want to have enough snacks!
