What is Leaders on the Horizon?
LEADERS ON THE HORIZON is a process for youth workers to use to disciple, equip & deploy students to be leaders and servants. It is an opportunity to help young people to be people of impact for the kingdom of God.

LOH is lead by several youth ministry veterans who have been pastors and youth pastors. Their dream is to see this generation of young people raised up and to be strong leaders and live missionally, equipped to do ministry on campus, in their homes, in the workplace and in the local church. Leaders on the Horizon is a ministry of the Reformed Church in America.

Imagine...
your ministry growing because you have small group leaders who know how to lead, care for people and are committed to partnering with you in making a difference.
 
..students leading students to God.
..having a presence on the public high school campuses in your area.
..students who are on fire for Jesus and are being challenged daily to live for him.
..your students with mentors and leaders who are pouring into their lives.
..kids from your ministry making an impact all over the world.

These things have happened with churches who've used LOH!

What does the program include?
LEADERS ON THE HORIZON is an all-inclusive program designed to assist the youth worker in making a maximum impact with little time and effort on their part as possible.
THE LOH PROGRAM INCLUDES...

• Leader's binder (or digital file) with weekly lesson plans, devotionals, and resources.
• Monthly e-newsletters for youth workers with leadership tips, time savers, resource and support.
• Ongoing support and consulting from LOH staff.
• One fall retreat planned and lead by LOH staff, one optional spring retreat written and provided for the youth worker to lead (with the option of LOH staff coming to lead) and one optional one-day retreat written and provided for the youth worker to lead. Youth worker retreats are also an option.

Here are the keys to succes with LOH....

Mentor, Apprentice & Participate 

Mentor: Participants are encouraged to have a member outside of the youth ministry. They can meet together monthly for prayer & support, wisdom & guidance and to talk through what they are experiencing in LOH. 

Apprentice: The youth worker has an apprentice-another adult who can go through the program and learn how to lead another group the following year.

Participate: The student leaders are urged to participate in campus Bible clubs, community service, serving in your youth ministry and mission trips. We provide resources of reputable student missions organizations to assist the youth pastor & student in the process.
