Adventure Isn’t an Option for the Church Today!
May 9 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Physical and mental health is all the rage. And it should be. Yet, although life expectancy has improved over the past century, Americans live shorter, more painful, and more distressed lives than our international peers. The solutions are myriad but one that is critical is also simple: do something adventurous. And the Church needs to get in the game!
Presenter: Rev. Vern Streeter
Vern Streeter was senior pastor of Harvest Church in Billings, Montana for 23 years. Prior to planting Harvest, Vern was a youth pastor for 10 years at Faith E. Church (the “Mother” church of Harvest) also in Billings. Vern has 1 wife, 2 daughters, 2 sons-in-law, 2 grandsons, and myriad other interests. For fun Vern likes to hunt, climb, ski, sail, backpack, ride his horse deep into the backcountry, ride both road and mountain bikes, drive fast, and fly his paraglider. Occasionally Vern sits down and watches sports on TV. He is Lecturer in Adventure and Theology at YTI.
