By Dan Carson, Director • Student Ministry Matters
On Sept. 20, 2025, we will be meeting at Central Baptist College for the 8th Annual Student Ministry Workers Retreat (SMWR). It is all about learning more about student ministry and connecting with others with a similar passion. There will be goody bags, snacks, giveaways, worship, breakout groups and more. Your registration includes lunch and a full day of training.
Our theme for 2025 is Technology. Our featured speaker for 2025 is Stephen Castleberry. Additionally, our breakout leaders will provide insight and resources to help you navigate and effectively utilize technology with your students and churches.
Whether you are full-time, part-time or a volunteer, if you love students, this is the one-day event for you. We have goody bags for the first 100 to register, with books and other fun things. Those registered after August 27 are not guaranteed a t-shirt. Snacks and lunch are included in the price of registration. Contact us if you have any questions.
