Youth Ministries

The Next Generation Initiative (NGI) exists to develop the next generation of youth pastors and leaders to reach the next generation of students. While providing winter retreats for high school and junior high students, the NGI primarily focuses on coaching and training youth pastors and volunteer youth leaders.

Bob Long, Director of Student Ministries, functions as a "pastor for youth pastors" for Converge MidAmerica. Bob Long is also available to consult with churches on youth ministry issues.
