About YNET 2012
Here’s what you can look forward to at YNET 2012:
Bible Teaching
A core value of YNET is faithfulness to God’s Word. Each year our goal is to have a trustworthy, dynamic communicator of God’s Word challenge and encourage us to be growing in our likeness to Christ. Our intent is that this person will also be someone who has “runs on the board” in Youth ministry.

Our speaker for 2012 certainly fits the bill.
Graham Stanton is Principal of the Youthworks College in Sydney,and has years of experience in training people for ministry to young people.
Electives
YNET electives give you the practical training and theological underpinning that is needed for ministering to young people. Core electives will be available each year and other YNET electives will vary from year to year.
Electives for 2012 are available on the elective info page, and more details will be available in first term 2012.
Iron Sharps Iron
Part of the benefit of the YNET conference is that you get to network with youth leaders from other churches who are involved in similar ministries. Using guided conversation starters, this session provides an informal discussion time with the aim that through shared experience leaders help one another develop effective strategies on dealing with a wide range of issues.
Team Time
In this session leaders from your church and/or ministry team will get together and talk about the things they are learning at YNET and how they can apply when they get back home.
Electives
The YNET 2012 Conference offers an expansive range of electives to encourage and equip you in your ministry!
You get to choose two electives on Saturday and one elective on Sunday.
The anticipated electives for YNET 2012 are shown below.
Update details will be available in first term 2012.
