What is the Leadership Advance?

We challenge young men to be Christian Leaders but often leave them wondering exactly how to do so. This conference is sponsored by Christian Service Brigade and provides practical strategies to help equip young men for their important call to Christian leadership and because every man will be called to lead in some capacity this conference is for every junior high and high school guy.

In an action packed setting this three day event helps equip young men to pursue Christ-like leadership. Team building, games, small group Bible studies, leadership seminars, service opportunities and a challenging and a practical keynote speaker are topped off by seriously amazing food and friendships.

No one attending this conference will leave without being better equipped to lead, inspired to serve, and very well fed!

It is NOT necessary that the young men attending be involved in a CSB program. The event is open to any young man between the ages of 12 and 18.

Our Theme This Year: 
"FEAR"

Fear, like faith, can either be a gift or a curse depending on the object of that fear. Fear, rightly placed can save our lives. Fear wrongly placed can prevent us from ever living the vibrant life God calls us to live. 

The teen years are often full of fear for young men and it can be confusing for them to discern healthy fear from harmful fear, and yet these are the years in which habits are formed and patterns are set. It is vital that we begin to help our young men to identify their fears, name them for what they are, and either embrace healthy fear (such as an appropriate Fear of God) from unhealthy or sinful fear.

This ability is particularly important for young men as they learn to lead others. So this December we will be taking a good long look at the face of fear, and we hope that at the end of the conference young men will emerge better able to identify and respond to the fears in their lives.
