Each young preacher is encouraged to secure the support of a mentor and sponsoring congregation to support his or her participation in the Festival of Young Preachers. Typically, mentors attend the Festival with their young person and introduce her or him at the preaching session. Mentors also may assist their young preachers in sermon preparation and in securing financial support for costs associated with attending the Biennial Mission Summit.
Applications for scholarship assistance will be available on this site February 1, 2015.
