WHEN: AUGUST & SEPTEMBER 2025
WHERE: Multiple locations across the U.S.
WHO: Calling All Core Teams!
Empower Core Member Trainings are designed to equip youth ministers and core members with the tools and techniques their ministry needs—not just to survive, but to thrive. Our mission: to help parishes lead teens closer to Christ. Join us at one of our trainings happening at parishes around the country!
Empower Core Member Trainings offer practical instruction, team-building experiences, and fresh content that is hyper-relevant to the current youth ministry landscape. Whether you’re starting from scratch or growing a well-established team, these sessions are designed to set you up for success.
This year, we’re expanding access by offering a virtual attendance option for parishes unable to travel. No matter where you are, you can access quality training for your entire team.
OUR GOAL: Leave no parish behind. Life Teen is committed to training as many youth ministers and core members as possible in the skills it takes to start, build, and sustain a vibrant youth ministry at your parish.

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! Access to session videos will be available to registered parishes from August 15, 2025, and will remain accessible until December 31, 2025.
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 of $350. 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?
Empower Core Member Trainings are held from 8:30am to 4:00pm.*
A full schedule will be posted later.
*Schedules may vary slightly at some locations. Registered participants at those sites will receive notification of any schedule variances.
Don’t wait to register!
The earlier you register, the more you save!
*Payment must be received in full no later than 14 days before the event or a late fee of $10/per person will be applied.
To request to add on spots, please fill out this Empower Trainings Adding Spots Form and our team will be happy to fulfill your request. Please allow at least 2 business days for this to be reflected on your registration.
Reserve space for your group by registering ahead of time.
Walk-in registrations will be accepted at the door the day of the Empower, but will pay a higher rate, so register in advance if you can!
If you register at the door, please be prepared to submit payment for $85/person via credit card.
We are here to help you! Â You can always contact the Events Team with any questions you may have.
