Universities / H2H University

University Overview

"I went thinking that I was going to learn how to use a curriculum. However, it was an encouraging surprise to encounter more than merely a curriculum. What is gained from the time together at H2H U is an approach to youth ministry that is both gracious and practical. I can’t imagine starting in this confirmation ministry and seeking to implement this approach without having attended the training in Stillwater." - Kelley Mata, Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran, Boise, ID


H2H University Sessions 2008
All events are at Faith Inkubators' offices in Stillwater, MN and will be held:
May 12-14, 2008
October 6-8, 2008

Please note: The July 2008 H2H University has been cancelled, due to an invitation of the Lutheran Church of Australia for several Faith inkubators' staff members to visit the country in late July/early August. We apologize for any trouble this may cause. Please consider our May and October University sessions as options.
