We are excited to announce our first-ever Youth Track for the 2015 ARC Midwest Gathering. Corey Paxton and a group of ARC youth pastors are planning and leading this event. Corey is a member of the ARC national leadership team and serves as Associate Pastor for Youth and Family ministries at First Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake, MN. Corey writes the following:

“We are excited to invite teens to be a part of this year's ARC Midwest gathering. Over the past year, a network of youth pastors have been meeting to dream of helping teens experience a bigger Kingdom community through the ARC. We are excited to invite senior high students into the beginning of this network this August as we are making plans to continue to connect throughout the year.

Teens are invited to come join with the adults for all of the evening sessions as well as connecting with other teens Friday and Saturday morning and afternoon through breakout sessions, mission projects, and fellowship times around meals to help them grow in Christ and build community together. On Saturday afternoon, we will spend some time hanging out at a lake and cooking out before coming back for the evening session.”
