Lads to Leaders(Brandon Jones, Daniel Sisson, Tim Hall)

Lads to Leaders is the oldest and largest leadership training program used by the churches of Christ. Beginning in 1968, the program has set out to create Christian leadership in the youth of the congregations of the Lord’s church. The program currently has over 20,000 participants nationwide, developing skills which will allow them to step forward and become the future leadership of the church. In addition, those congregations who utilize Lads to Leaders see a retention rate of 85% or higher in their youth after graduation, compared to the usual 50% or less of those congregations who do not use resources such as these. These are merely a few reasons as to why Lads to

Leaders is an essential part of the development of the youth of the congregation.

• Develop young people’s abilities • Prepare youth for service in the Kingdom of God • Offer a variety of Bible-based materials for all ages • Youth can choose from around 40 events/projects which provides for a wide range of interests • Teach our youth to be leaders • Look at the talents developed with God’s help in our youth • Encourage all youth in the congregation to participate
