Join us at RYM Local

Topic & Speakers

Cultivating Resilient Youth

Whether or not you’ve explored the latest studies and data, you’ve likely noticed the challenges facing today’s youth. Anxiety, depression, self-harm, and spiritual disengagement are at unprecedented levels, and many young people are walking away from their faith after high school. In the midst of this crisis, how can parents, churches, and adult mentors provide the guidance and support youth need?

In 2025-2026, RYM Local will focus on Cultivating Resilient Youth, exploring how we can work together to minister to young people in a way that fosters faith, strength, and hope in Christ. This one-evening and one-morning event will offer biblical insights, practical strategies, and encouragement for those seeking to love and lead the youth in their midst.
