Can you remember a time when you were a child, and you had an idea about how to help someone in your community? Imagine a place where your inspiration was cultivated, like the seeds from the Parable of the Sower that fell on fertile soil. Then imagine how it would have felt seeing your idea make a difference in your community. LEAD is a faith formation method designed to be youth-led and hands-on where participants learn about God’s call to serve as they design and implement small mission projects. This method provides youth with important relationship-building opportunities that are necessary for a strong church community, as adults mentor youth and older youth mentor younger youth. Most importantly, youth learn how the congregation works together to accomplish its mission, by actually leading the congregation in mission tasks.
