Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes
Our church has participated in Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes since 2006. We have a very active group of young people and adults who participate and work with this program. Lads to Leaders is a program used to help train our young people to serve God. Individuals can choose from many areas of interest including Speech, Puppets, Debate, Art Says It, Song Leading, Teach to Teach, and much, much more. We normally kick off every year around the end of September in preparation for the convention which takes place each year on Easter weekend. Our group attends the convention in Louisville, Kentucky. For more information about the Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes program, please visit there website at www.lads-to-leaders.org.
