2024 Atlantic Union Conference Adventist Youth Leadership & Evangelism Congress 

Track & Series Descriptions for Youth Leadership Congress

A track is 5 – 7 workshops (classes) toward an area of interest and/or certification.

A series is 2 – 5 workshops (classes) in a particular area of interest. 

Recognizing that the conferences within the Atlantic Union have differing training expectations for ministry leadership, we are pleased to offer a wide range of workshops that seek to reflect the diversity of requirements. We believe that you will find sufficient workshops to contribute to your training needs. Please note some conferences may offer additional classes after congress to complete certification for the series which are being offered.

***Algunos de los cursos y seminarios serán ofrecidos en Español. Podrá ver mas adelante al final de cada descripción si el tópico de su preferencia está disponible en español. 

You can still attend the congress and the workshops if you are not interested in either any one track or a series of workshops. If this is you, choose "Elective" from the track/ series menu on the registration page. 

Attendees may attend any seminar of interest listed under any track or series. You are only required to attend all the seminars in a specific track or series, if you intend to graduate with the certification in your local conference.
