Many of you have contacted me and asked what Youth Pastors might do in response to the decisions made at the 2019 General Conference of the United Methodist Church.

The rising suicide rate among our teens, the increasing need for psychiatric help, and the general feeling of being overwhelmed by life that our teens share openly about, are all reminders of how desperately they need the love of God and acceptance the church offers to all of them!
