National Youth Ministry Convention
For the first time in Australia - chaplains, Church youth pastors, Government and community youth workers, teachers, university workers and any Christians that work with youth or young adults are invited to an event designed to help them in their crucial tasks.
The National Youth Ministry Convention (NYMC) is a four day event that brings together Christian youth workers from across Australia and New Zealand for a time of professional development, networking and refreshment. It will be held from September 25-28, 2007, at Surfers Paradise in the heart of the Gold Coast. Delegates will attend one of six full day seminars, five general sessions and eight of 38 electives, in between forging connections with peers from around the region and enjoying the best the Gold Coast has to offer.
The NYMC is being coordinated by Youth Vision Queensland, in partnership with a broad network of Christian denominations and para-Church youth ministry organisations. Currently this group includes Youth Dimension, Uniting Church Youth Ministries Queensland, Youth For Christ, Anglican Youth Ministries, Student Life, The Churches of Christ, Youth Ministries Australia, and Salvation Army Youth.
