Embark 2026

Making disciples looks different for different individuals, but overall, there is a structure on how to form others in following Christ. Three key moments to that rhythm are the Kerygma, the Didache, and Liturgia.

These steps are proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ, being formed on how to live in the shadow of the Master, and how to worship rightly and justly. Embark is an opportunity to pause and refocus on the mission we have been given.

Like any good mission, it is an adventure filled with twists and turns, ups and downs; it is critical to gather, rest, and be renewed before heading out again.

This morning will do just that.

This year's theme: Didache. In our ministries, it's important that after our youth have heard the Kerygma, the Good News of the Gospel, that we continue to teach them how to follow in Jesus' footsteps. At Embark, we'll dive into how best to teach our youth how to live the Christian life and explore how we can continually make this a focal point of everything we do in our ministries.
