Faith Fest will not only give a taste of campus life and ministry, it will also strengthen ties among your youth group. It is an ideal occasion for bonding friendships and for introducing young people to each other from around the state.

For youth leaders, Faith Fest promises an opportunity to share strategies with others who do similar work. Our featured speaker Dani Tietjen will share her experiences in youth ministry. And Susan Marone from the South Dakota Synod ELCA will talk about how to prepare others to assist with youth programming.
