NOTE TO PASTORS/CHURCH LEADERS: Because your investment as a faith community and as leaders is vital to our young leaders, we are asking that you nominate and register youth for this experience. Youth cannot register themselves. You will simply need basic contact information – address, phone, and email – for the youth and for his or her parent. We also hope that the church will pay the small registration fee for nominated youth, but we don’t want finances to stand in the way of any youth attending. If you have questions, please contact Rev. Brian Durand at 317-564-3249. To register a youth now visit www.inumc.org/explore. (Note: The nominations process will not turn any youth away from the event. It is designed to enroll an adult in the church as a mentor and encourage ongoing relationships to encourage and develop young leaders. You will need to register the youth, including checking with them on their availability.)
