Wondering about today’s relevance of Jesus?
How do Jesus’ teaching really fit into your everyday life in the midst of all that is happening in our world?
And where do the Brethren fit into all of this?
Western Plains District Sr. High Youth Coordinators, Shawn Flory Replogle and Jen Jensen, are excited to announce a youth and young adult event focused on these ponderings and much more that will take place in Kansas City on April 12-14, 2019 with First Central Church of the Brethren hosting.
Hands-on and interactive events throughout the weekend will engage youth and young adults in leadership development, contemplating the relevance of Jesus and the Brethren in today’s world, and discovering how to be active no matter what setting you find yourself. The weekend will also include service projects, a trip into Kansas City, and much more!!
A special invitation is extended to youth leaders as specific youth leaders workshops will be offered to assist in continuing their work of helping teens love Jesus, and assisting the development of their youth into the best version of themselves that God created them to be, as well as time to brainstorm and fellowship with one another.
Mark your calendars and make plans to attend!!! Registration information and more EXCITING details including workshop leaders and musical guests will be announced after the new year!!

For the last five years, Shawn Flory Replogle has served as the Western Plains District Youth Coordinator. The seven years prior to that, Jen Jensen served as the District Youth Coordinator, but since then, in her role as Director of Spiritual Life at McPherson College, including planning of Regional Youth Conference, she has remained in close contact with youth ministry-related activities. This past October, Shawn and Jen began a collaboration as co-District Youth Coordinators.
“Anyone who has ever sat through one of my two-minute reports at District Conference knows that I’m interested in leadership development, particularly as it relates to youth ministry and how the church is evolving and will be relevant for future generations,” said Shawn. “With the addition of Jen, we’ll be able to continue the excellent youth ministry events that have existed for the better part of a decade, and also work at the relational aspects of developing leaders, all within the context of the district youth coordinator position.”
“I’m super pumped to rejoin our district youth ministry program. Shawn has done amazing work over the past few years and it really matches well with the ministry I get to do at McPherson College every day,” said Jen.
Shawn and Jen are excited about the future of youth ministry in Western Plains and in the wider denomination, and really value the opportunity to nurture and empower the present/future leaders of the church.
