Adult Leader Resources
These resources have been created to help Adult Leaders, both volunteer and professional church workers, prepare their group to attend the Gathering. Be sure to connect with your district’s District Coordinator, download the Gathering Media Kit resources, and learn more about the City of New Orleans to get ready for the Gathering. New resources are added regularly, so check back often!
