Coming Soon: Soul Shop for Youth

The Commission for Spiritual Leader Development is inviting interested youth across our presbytery to attend a one-day event on Saturday, May 4th. Soul Shop for Youth is a retreat that empowers youth to navigate a healthy faith-centered path to address desperation and suicide, for both themselves and others.

This program focuses on raising awareness, teaching conversational skills, fostering positive relationships, and establishing a soul-safe culture. The goal is to equip participants with the confidence to navigate adolescence and become compassionate leaders who create spaces where faith thrives and resilience prevails.

Spread the word! Download a poster to share, and invite youth in your community to participate. Registration and more information can be found at https://baltimorepresbytery.org/events/soul-shop-for-youth/
