First and foremost, we love Jesus and his church. Our mission at LeaderTreks Youth Ministry is to develop leaders to fulfill the Great Commission. We do this by supporting youth workers and providing experiences that grow students as disciples and develop them as leaders. So we create challenging mission and adventure trips that bring spiritual development together with transformational experiences.
LeaderTreks Youth Ministry uses trips, innovative training, and curriculum to create laboratories where students can learn, face challenges, and be transformed. Laboratories allow students to experience truth as well as hear truth, so they can grow into their potential. This is why our curriculum provides experiential learning activities in every lesson we create. This is also why we use challenge on all our trips to help students catch a glimpse of their personal potential and start down the road of using that potential. Our goal is not to just make students happy—we want to see them grow as followers of Christ.
