Benefits to your Church:
Summer Madness is not about trying to run the biggest event or making the church look good, Summer Madness is about young people and your church.
1. First and foremost Summer Madness is a chance to do some intentional discipleship amongst your young people. The whole program is focused on discipleship, both reflecting upon and growing in faith. There will be opportunities for your young people to grow in areas like engaging in mission, developing a Christ like character, drawing closer to God, developing in gifts and abilities, being sustained, recharged and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
2. Summer Madness can be a dynamic kick start to the new ministry year for your group and help sustain the focus for the group over the Christmas holidays.
3. Summer Madness can be a great way to bond your young people, leaders and mentor together as a group through exciting shared experiences.
4. The event will give your young people a positive experience of the wider Uniting Church.
5. Summer Madness will help your young people develop networks and relationships beyond their local setting. This is a critical component in young people staying connected to the church for the long term and when they move town.
6. Summer Madness is a chance for your young people to experience new ministry opportunities and develop in their gift and competencies.
