At Maryville College
Maryville, SC
What you need to know!
SEEK and FIND
Attention churches, Middle School Youth, and their parents,
Our presbytery is once again getting a group to go together as one
large group to the Montreat Middle School Conference at Maryville College
in Maryville, Tennessee. This fabulous conference that is from Wednesday
July 22nd to Sunday July 26th is for all rising 6th graders to 8th graders.
This year’s theme is Find and Seek!
We are hopeful that by traveling together as a large group, we can
save some money on transportation, we can stay together in the dorm, and
most importantly, we can develop strong relationships across our Presbytery.
We also hope to encourage attendance from youth who come from churches
that might not be able to find adult volunteers who could attend the
conference.
At this Conference over 500 Presbyterian Middle Schoolers from all
over the country come together and hear the word of God proclaimed to
them through keynotes, worship, music, recreation, and small groups of their
own peers.
The cost to go is $420* per youth and this cost includes a
registration fee, a place to stay, all meals at the conference, and
transportation. We will stay on campus in one of the dorm buildings and eat
at the College’s cafeteria. In order to make sure we have our Presbytery
Middle Schoolers registered in time for the Middle School Conference
please turn in the included Registration Form and a FULL PAYMENT by
FRIDAY MARCH 13th to your youth leader.
We can’t wait to see youth there!

CHURCH and YOUTH LEADER INFO
ATTENTION CHURCHES AND YOUTH LEADERS,
Once again our presbytery is getting a group to go together as one large group to
the Montreat Middle School Conference at Maryville College in Maryville,
Tennessee. This fabulous conference that is from Wednesday July 22nd to
Sunday July 26th is for all rising 6th graders to 8th graders. This year’s theme is
SEEK AND FIND!
WHAT IS THE MONTREAT MIDDLE SCHOOL CONFERNCE?
At this Conference that is put on by Montreat Conference Center over 500
Presbyterian Middle Schoolers from all over the country come together at
Maryville College and hear the word of God proclaimed to them through
keynotes, worship, music, recreation, and small groups of their own peers. We
will stay on campus in one of the dorm buildings and eat at the College’s
cafeteria.
BENEFITS OF GOING AS A PRESBYTERY
We are hopeful that by traveling together as a large group, we can save some
money on transportation, we can stay together in the dorm, and most importantly,
we can develop strong relationships across our Presbytery. We also hope to
encourage attendance from youth who come from churches that might not be able
to find adult volunteers who could attend the conference.
THE COST
The cost to go is $415 per youth and this cost includes a registration fee, a place
to stay, all meals at the conference, and transportation. The cost to go is $415, but
your church might have funds, fundraisers, or members who can help supplement
that cost for your youth. Please decide on a set price for your youth and advertise
your churches cost by adjusting the price for the attached youth flyer. For
example some churches are advertising the cost as $215 and covering the
additional $200 for their youth through fundraisers or their budget. So why their
youth pay $215 to their church, the church pays $415 a person to the presbytery.
If you need an electronic copy of a the Youth Flyer so you can adjust the
advertised price please contact Nick Reed at nick.reedfpc@bellsouth.net.
HOW TO REGISTER?
Please have your youth participants turn in their forms to your church by March
13th so you can get them to the Presbytery by Monday March 16th. To register
turn in your youth’s or adult’s forms and $420 for each participant to the
Presbytery office by March 16th. If your youth need more time to pay the full
cost work out a payment plan with them so they can have more time, but please
have your church go ahead and pay the full payment for them by March 16th.
QUESTIONS
Please contact Nick Reed (334-887-5571 or nick.reedfpc@bellsouth.net) or
Emily Roberts (efroberts@gmail.com) if you have questions or need help
registering your youth.
