Theme
Leading from the Driver’s Seat
At this Refuel Retreat we will be talking about Leading from the Driver’s Seat. For many of us, we have taken over a ministry or inherited a ministry, and it feels like we are saddled with mission, values, and programming that we don’t feel comfortable with, but we don’t know how to change. We are going to discuss how we can move from caretakers to leaders in our youth ministries.
