Come to the Mountains: A Presbyterian Youth Workers' Association Retreat

Join us for PYWA’s Second Annual “Come to the Mountains” Gathering in Montreat, North Carolina. This gathering is open to all youth workers — ordained and non-ordained, volunteers and professionals alike.

Over the course of a few days, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Worship & Keynote – led by Rev. Dr. Kenda Creasy Dean and Rev. Neema Cyrus Franklin.

• Learning Labs — Hands-on sessions designed to sharpen your skills and deepen your practice in youth ministry.

• Soul Care — Intentional time set aside for rest, reflection, and personal renewal.

• Idea Exchange — A collaborative space to share insights, challenges, and creative solutions with fellow youth workers.
