Youth Council for Cal-Pac
In the California-Pacific Conference, we have five districts that keep us connected and these are our leaders that help lead us. Each District is led by a District Superintendent (DS) and is supported by a leadership team that works together to provide support, information, and programmatic events for the district and groups connected with the conference and larger connection (national UMC). Both Youth and Young Adult Ministries are mandated by the Book of Discipline (BOD) to be on this team and are led by a District Youth Coordinator and District Young Adult Coordinator.
