The Refuge is the weekend gathering of SSY, focused on COMMUNITY, GROUP & PRAYER.

Being a weekend gathering, The Refuge meets on various days of various weeks at various times throughout the month.  The easiest way to know what's happening with The Refuge is to check our Google Calendar.

SALT (Students Advancing in Leadership Training) is a mentoring/discipling program offered to all youth 7th - 12th grade.

Presently, SALT is undergoing some revisions to the training material.  At this time the Fall Run is not being offered.  Youth may apply to participate in the Winter Run.  Deadline to apply for the Winter Run is December 1, 2010.  Please contact Pastor Ryan if you have questions.

SALT is a national program open to all youth of the Brethren Church, across the country.   Each church operates the SALT program a bit differently; so here is what you need to know if you're considering the SALT program within Nappanee FBC:

• An application must be filled out and on file with Pastor Ryan prior to beginning the program, either the Fall Run (September - December) or the Winter Run (January - April).

• SALT has two different starting options, either Fall Run or Winter Run  Each "run" is 4 months in length.  In theory, you may participate in two training levels per year.

• The cost is $10 per student, per training level (4 total).  There is a cost to help cover the cost of training materials per each training level.

• Youth will be expected to meet at least once a month with their mentor for training and accountability.  Individual meeting schedules are set up between the mentor and the youth participant in advance of the first meeting.

• More info can be found at the BYIC SALT Shaker, the online home for the National SALT program.
