Oasis: Young Adult and Campus Ministries Leadership Conference 2020
Save the Dates: June 23-26, 2020 in Tucson, AZ
The Young Adult and Campus Ministry Annual Leadership Conference, to be held June 23-26, 2020 in Tucson, Arizona, is an opportunity for Episcopal leaders in ministry with young adults on and off college campuses to meet and connect with one another and to be nourished and nurtured in their ministry.
Our hope is that the participants will:
- connect and reconnect with others involved in this ministry
- be better equipped to engage young adults where they live, work and study
- learn from one another and share resources
- build upon their skills and networks to assist them in ministry
- leave feeling that they have feasted at the table and are ready to do the work God has called them to do
Conference participants - both leaders who are new to this work as well as those who have longstanding roots in this ministry - will hear from speakers, focus on intentional conversations, build relationships, and learn from one another.
Registration
Participant registration will open in January 2020.
