Resources for Youth Leaders

We get it—being a youth leader is important yet challenging work. Our team is working on putting together some resources to help make preparing for YouthCon ’26 a little bit easier. If you have any recommendations on what kinds of resources may be most helpful to you, please email assembly@lmcchurches.org.

Fundraising Ideas

Not every church is able to budget for the cost of YouthCon, so we’ve put together a list of fundraising ideas to help get you started. Fundraising is a great way to get the youth involved and help them grow in their faith as they see the Lord provide. Access the PDF here.
