The Moment: National Leadership Forum on Ministry with Young Adults
December 5-6, 2018 – Tampa, FL
The Moment is a pre-conference to NCCYM, presented by the USCCB Secretariat of Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth in collaboration with the ad-hoc National Advisory Team on Young Adult Ministry
The deliberate attention and resources that the Church is currently giving to youth and young adults with the Synod, World Youth Day, V Encuentro, and the National Dialogue is unparalleld. What does this moment mean for those who encounter and accompany young adults?
This two-day Forum, designed for those who minister to young adults at all levels, allowed attendees to dialogue with national leaders integral to these major events, as well as young adult ministry peers applying insights to local efforts. Join us in this MOMENT.
