2026 All In Relational Ministry
RELATIONAL SKILLS for CROSS+GEN groups!
On behalf of the newly formed Synod Youth Team, we’re inviting you to join us on June 13 for training in building relationships across generations. We especially encourage anyone who currently works with youth – staff or volunteers – and teens who have a passion for their faith – to join us for this event. We are bringing in the renowned Lyle Griner to help us as we begin a new season of youth and community ministry in the Greater Milwaukee Synod.
What to Expect
A group of all ages
Learn to walk with others — and walk toward those who need connection
Practice relational skills that deepen conversations and build trust
Notice the moments where faith and everyday life meet
Build a culture where people feel seen, heard, and valued
- A casual atmosphere
