The team grew out of a desire to assist the youth ministries of local Covenant churches by providing quality speakers for conference retreats, leadership training, or gatherings of two or more Covenant churches. Our goal is to challenge and assist the Evangelical Covenant Church to reach, disciple, and equip youth and families for growth toward spiritual maturity and to serve the community and the world for Christ. Are you concerned you cannot afford a speaker? Please &#8220;request a speaker&#8221; and find out exactly what it looks like to invite someone from the <em><strong>Speaker Team<\/strong><\/em> to lead your group.<\/p>\n<p><a
