"Houston....we have a preteen..."

Are you ready to take your next step towards an Intentional Preteen Ministry that is OUT OF THIS WORLD?

Whether you are just getting your preteen ministry off the ground or if it's been in orbit for many moons, this conference will help you figure out how to execute your next mission of moving toward a more intentional and effective preteen ministry at your church.

We'll gather once again at the MET church in Houston, a church that values Intentional Ministry to Preteens. You'll be able to see their space and talk with their team, along with dozens of other veterans in Intentional Preteen Ministry.

You'll develop your ability to help guide the 9-12-year-olds at your church and see their faith TAKE OFF as they grow Biblical and Christ-glorifying roots.
