Youth Ministry Cohort Zoom Meeting
2022-10-04 16:00 - 17:00 | Zoom
The Diocese of Indianapolis has invited Mary Beth Abplanalp from Ministry Architects to facilitate monthly meetings for paid, volunteer, lay, and ordained youth ministry leaders across the diocese. During this interim season as the diocese re-visions youth ministry as a whole and searches for our next diocesan leader, this virtual youth ministry cohort for the 2022-2023 school year will provide collegial support, fellowship, and professional development. It is our hope that you and others across our diocese serving with young people will attend as often as you’re able, to be nourished and equipped for fulfilling and effective youth ministry leadership.

Please click here to register for the monthly meetings; upon registration, the Zoom link will be sent to your email inbox.

The virtual youth ministry cohort had its first Zoom meeting on August 31, but you are still welcome to register and attend the upcoming meetings regardless of previous attendance.

We hope you can attend, and we look forward to fruitful discussions amongst our diocesan youth ministries. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mary Beth Abplanalp at marybeth.abplanalp@ministryarchitects.com.
