BIOGRAPHY
April Diaz
April is the Next Gen Pastor at NewSong Church in Irvine, California. Prior to her current role, she was involved in Willow Creek's student ministries for 7 years in a variety of roles. April is wild about investing in 12-18 year olds and has intensely developed leaders to serve them. Secretly, she's a closet reality TV junkie, total girlie girl, reads more than she can put into practice, & still drools over her husband of over 7 years.
SCHEDULE FOR SACRAMENTO
Effectively Ministering to Middle School Girls
(Seminar Series #1)
Oct 10 4:00 PM-5:30 PM
Sacramento
We thought we had it bad in middle school! The life of a middle school girl is increasingly complex, with body issues, societal issues, school issues, family issues, and global issues consuming their underdeveloped bodies and minds. (Just reading that sentence makes me tired!) If you found it difficult to navigate the middle school years once upon a time, then you’ll find yourself relating to this beautifully intricate sector of society and feeling primed to minister to them. Join me as we peel the layers off the issues that our middle school girls face and get more in touch with God’s heart for our groups of girls.
Middle School Ministry From the Group Up (Without Getting Ground Up)
(Seminar Series #3 - Super Seminars)
Oct 11 2:00 PM-4:30 PM
Sacramento
Join April and Kurt and the family of middle school workers as we relish the odd and wonderful calling God has placed on us and talk about a wide variety of subjects that are unique and important to middle school ministry. This course is a great on-ramp to everything from early adolescent development to programming and teaching ideas, to small groups, and even parent relationships.
