The Margin: Rest & Fellowship for CBFNC Youth Leaders

You take care of everyone else… let us take care of you for a change! — Join your CBFNC colleagues for a day of rest and fellowship. 

• When: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
• Where: April 16 at Walk By Faith Camp (Hays, NC)

Youth ministry is beautiful, but it’s also demanding. Between the late-night texts, the frantic game prep, and the weight of carrying students’ stories, your “margin” can disappear quickly.

The Margin is a day designed specifically for you. We’re clearing the schedule from 10am–3pm so you can actually breathe. No workshops, no “three keys to growth” seminars, and no pressure to network. Just space for you to:

• Relax: Chair massages & Yoga
• Explore: Hiking & Fishing
• Connect: Board games, Crafts & Fellowship.

Register here.

The deadline for registration is April 13. For more information, contact Andy Jung at ajung@cbfnc.org.
