Youth ministry is not something we figure out once. It is important that we are always learning how to see, love, and walk with the people in front of us. Teens are always changing, culture is shifting, and the way we show up for them has to keep growing, too.
This year, as Life Teen focuses on With Every Breath, our annual theme, we desire to stay attentive to how the Holy Spirit is moving in a new generation. Empower is designed for your whole team to step in together, receive the formation you need right at the start of the year, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Through Life Teen Empower, you and your team will respond with fresh eyes and open hearts so that you can remain rooted, available, and ready to be sent.
What your team will walk away with:
Â
You will also be surrounded by other leaders in the same vineyard. People carrying the same mission, asking the same questions, and showing up for teens in a rapidly changing world. And we are right there with you.
Life Teen staff, Area Contacts, and trained coaches show up in person to spend the day with you and your team. We listen. We invest. We walk with you. This is personal, and it is meant to last beyond a single day.
Whether your team is brand new or well established, you will leave better equipped and more connected than when you walked in.
Gather your team. Come ready. Start the year on purpose.

Looking to take your team’s experience even further? Consider pairing the Shoot for the Moon Core Retreat with a Life Teen Empower training.
Empower is intentionally scheduled on Saturdays this August, so your team can begin the year not only spiritually renewed through retreat, but also practically equipped for ministry. Together, these experiences create space for your core team to pray together, reconnect to their mission, and receive the formation and tools needed for the year ahead.
We also offer a schedule specifically designed for teams incorporating Shoot for the Moon into their Empower weekend experience.
No matter where your parish is located, you and your team can participate in the Empower Training. You can gather your team at your parish on a date that works for you, or you could even spread the training out over the course of a few meetings. Whatever works best for you and your team!
We’ve crafted a hybrid event package designed to equip you with the tools you need to lead your team through a training day at your own parish. You’ll watch the pre-recorded training session videos and then engage your team locally with times of prayer, discussion questions, practical exercises, and other elements designed to help your team prepare for the ministry year ahead – all provided with your registration!
The best part? The registration fee for Virtual Empower is per parish rather than per person. So no matter how many members you have on your team, you pay a flat rate. This is an affordable, accessible option where you can get your whole team trained on a budget and schedule that works for you! What excuses do you have left?
