Young People's Ministries
Young People's Ministry is ALL ABOUT CONNECTIONS...
We serve those who are in youth and young adult ministries and the workers who lead them.
We support the ministries for youth and young adults through support, education, resources, and networking.
- Connection to our Campus Ministries Programs
- Materials for your ministry program
- Program support and "spreading the word" about your event or idea
- Education and training opportunities available for you and your congregation
- Coordination of events that connect us as a Conference and as a denomination

With more than 25 years of experience in domestic and international missions, Mission Encounter provides short-term mission trips to youth groups, college groups, adult groups, and families.
Mission Encounter believes that short-term mission trips can provide an incredible departure point for a lifetime of service, spiritual growth, and discipleship. Its goal is to connect Christian volunteers of many faith-traditions to a variety of host communities around the country and beyond. Mission Encounter proves to be a valuable resource to both the full-time pastor and the part-time lay leader as they provide meaningful projects and "turn key" events for volunteer groups.

More than 200 youth were commissioned by Bishop Brown at the April 9-10 Bishop's Confirmation Retreat. However, there were others who wanted to participate but couldn't, due to full registration.
Because of that, Bishop Brown held a one-day worship, Communion, and commissioning service for confirmation candidates on Saturday, June 5, with a celebration meal immediately following.
This special event was hosted by First Tongan United Methodist Church in San Bruno from 3 to 6 p.m. on June 5.
For registration details contact Kelly Newell, Director of Young People's Ministries, at kellyn@calnevumc.org or 916.374.1515.
