FRONTLINE
A Youth & Young Adult Training Cohort
Purpose
The purpose of Frontline is simple: To train, equip, and send. As our youth & young adults grow in knowledge, character, and faith, they are empowered to serve their churches, communities, and the wider mission field until Christ returns.
Through intentional instruction and hands-on ministry experience, Frontline seeks to equip the next generation of gospel workers in essential areas of ministry.
Curriculum
Target Audience: This training is designed for youth/young adults ages 14-35.
Coaching/Mentoring: Each participant will be paired with a dedicated mentor who will come alongside them through their cohort journey. These mentors are pastors and elders within the Seventh-Day Adventist Church and the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference. They will provide spiritual guidance, encouragement, and support as participants grow in faith & leadership.
Certification Track: This cohort will take place in two sessions during the 2026 calendar year, scheduled for May 8-9 & November 13-14. Participants who complete both sessions will receive a certificate of completion, recognizing their commitment to the full cohort experience.

Pr. Fidel Soto
Preparing Your Heart
You can't pour from an empty cup. In ministry, it's easy to focus on strategies and methods on reaching others... But the most powerful witness flows from a heart that has first been with Jesus. This seminar is designed to help young people examine their inner life before stepping into the sacred work of leading others to Christ.
Pr. Helvis Moody
Discovering my spiritual gifts
You're not basic, you're gifted! What if the abilities, passions, and personality God placed inside you, were meant to change lives? This seminar is designed to help young people uncover how God has uniquely wired them for impact. Every believer has been given spiritual gifts to build up the church and advance God's mission.
Pr. Marcos Cruz
Creative Evangelism
Evangelism doesn't have to be awkward. It doesn't have to be a script. "Creative Evangelism" is an energetic, idea-sparking seminar designed to help youth think outside the box and discover fresh, authentic ways to reach their friends and community for Jesus. Let's discover how God can use your creativity to change lives.
Pr. Gerardo Oudri
Leading an effective small group
Some of the most powerful spiritual growth doesn't happen in a crowd but in a small group. Jesus invested deeply in a small group of disciples, and through them, the world was changed. In the same way, God can use young leaders to create spaces where faith becomes personal, questions are welcomed, and lives are shaped for Christ.
