Office of Youth Ministry at 601 S. Jefferson Ave., Springfield, MO 65806 US - Home
Welcome to the Office of Youth Ministry!Welcome to Our Web Site:
We have reached our goal of becoming "paperless!" So, please take a minute to sign up today in order to stay up to date with our mailings.
Important notice: we published the YMIT newsletter on paper for the last time this fall... meaning, it will no longer be mailed. Please take time to add yourself to our mailing list for the newsletter so that you continue to receive electronic mailings. Also, the Youth Conference registration packet will not be printed in the future either, but it will always be available here by the end of January.
Sign up to receive instant updates and information from the OYM (via email, text message, or website) on flockNote... read more in the Summer 2009 issue of YMIT!
January
Youth Conference Registration Booklet PLEASE NOTE! We made a mistake on the quoted price for the Holiday Inn Express, the price is $86.00 per night, not $82.00. Also, workshop 1- and 2-A will be presented by Pat Hutcheson, not Mandy Witt-Aubert. The topic remains the same.
