The Call @MNU in 2024
At MidAmerica Nazarene University, we’re helping you answer THE CALL, equipping high school juniors and seniors for a lifetime of Christian ministry. The CALL is a one week youth theology institute featuring daily individual and corporate worship, theological training, Biblical instruction, service learning, and a little fun designed to equip high school juniors and seniors preparing for a lifetime of Christian ministry.
YES Conference
YES Conference is for any high school student who is willing to step into the adventure of discovering who
God has created them to be and all He has created them to do.
It is for those brave individuals who wrestle with questions like, “What am I supposed to do with my life?”
“How do I know what God’s plan for me is?” “How can I impact my world?”
It’s for those who are interested in business, law, medicine, education, pastoral ministry, mechanics and
everything else in between. It’s also for those who have no idea what they are interested in, but who desire to find out.
