Multiple Young Leaders Complete Training
Twenty-seven Oklahoma youth completed Lay Servant training this summer. That’s 27 young people who are trained to serve as new church leaders.
The Oklahoma Conference of the United Methodist Church organizes the leadership camp for youth, called LEAD. This year LEAD was held at Cross Point Camp on the shores of Lake Texhoma,
near Kingston, OK. Basic and Advanced Lay Servant classes covered training in church leadership. Fourteen attended the advanced class, “For the Common Good - Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts,” taught by Rev. Jeff Hinton serving in Jones, OK.
Thirteen attended the Basic Lay Servant Class taught by Rev. Diandra Nelson, serving at New Hope OKC and Sharri Hiller, Conference Director of Lay

Servant Ministry.
The theme of LEAD this year was “3 Simple Rules.” The small group times and worships were centered around this theme. Campers contemplated “Walking with God,” “Do No Harm,” “Do Good,” and “Stay in Love with God” during their time at camp. Free time was enjoyed at the beach and at the high ropes course. Evening activities included a talent show and Camp Olympics.
LEAD Camp is more than five days of growing closer to God and each other. It is more than five days of honing in leadership skills. It is more than five days of fun. It is all of those things, but it is so much more. LEAD is a Christian Leadership experience you won’t want your student to miss. Please consider sending your youth leaders next year!
