Program areas at Higher Things
We held two conferences for youth serving over 1,700 youth, pastors, and adult leaders. The conferences promote a christian identity for the youth and provide a place where they can more deeply understand their christian faith. Conferences include daily worship, catechesis classes, breakout sessions and entertainment. Smaller retreats are held throughout the year with similar objectives but on a much smaller, regional scale.
Our content area produces video shorts, devotional booklets, podcasts, curriculum including vacation bible school packages, bible studies and hosts virtual events.
