MidWinter Planning and Leadership

MidWinter is a camp organized and led by youth from our conference. The planning process kicks off in September during our Fall Meeting, where decisions are made on themes, schedules, speakers, music, and even t-shirt colors. Our next meeting is scheduled for September 9th. Following this, we hold a Winter Planning Meeting at Bridgeport, focusing on refining the curriculum and making final preparations for MidWinter. Once the planning is complete, youth can sign up to lead one of the two MidWinter weekends. During these weekends, they have the opportunity to lead games, activities, prayers, and share personal testimonies.

Camp Leadership as Junior or Youth Counselor:

Leadership roles are available at all of our Conference Camps, both summer and non-summer. Participation as Junior Counselors and/or Youth Counselors is grade-dependent, but we welcome youth from 7th through 12th grade. These roles provide chances for youth to lead small groups, coordinate games, activities, prayers, and more.

District and Conference Leadership:

Within the North Texas Conference, we have four Districts. Each District has a Youth Lay Leader who might also be a CYLP member. They play a crucial role in connecting the District to Conference events and representing youth on the Conference Board of Laity. The District Youth Lay Leader is also given priority to attend Annual Conference as a voting member. If you're interested in District Youth Ministry, please reach out to Joseph Bradley via email.
