Lott Carey’s International Youth Development Department helps churches to nurture new generations of leaders for the world.  The primary way that we accomplish this goal is through.

• The Annual Youth Seminar that gathers several hundred young people ages 14 - 21 for a week of service learning and servant leading
• The Hope Missions Program helps churches mobilize children ages 6 – 13 for missional learning and serving
• The Calling Congregations Project that helps churches to notice, name, and nurture adolescents who may be open to ministry as vocation

56th Annual Lott Carey Youth Seminar June 26 – July 1, 2010

Join hundreds of young people ages 14 - 20 on the campus of Shaw University in Raleigh, NC for a week of missional learning, serving, worship, and fellowship.  Together we share in servant leading and service learning, and youth explore ways of being light and salt for the world with attention to global and local opportunities.  Keep up with the week's schedule here...

Lott Carey Calling Congregations:
 

Noticing, Naming, and Nurturing Young People with an Inclination toward Vocational Ministry (In partnership with The Fund for Theological Education)

Five congregations worked for more than a year to explore developing practices that both welcome and encourage adolescents to consider the call to ministry as a viable vocational option for their lives.  The call to ministry is a noble call, and churches should invite youth to "try on the mantle of ministry."  Read more, and join us on this journey! Download  Calling Congregations Work in Progress.
