VYLTP invites local young people to the Thursday morning service at Volmoed. After the service, teaching on the five themes of VYLTP continues for the rest of the day. Register your interest by completing a form.

1.  Community

This is based on the Bonhoeffer theme of “Life together” and Martin Luther King Jr’s idea of “the Beloved community”. 

2.  Healing and wholeness

Volmoed was started with the idea of bringing wholeness to people. Leadership is about becoming whole in order to help others and society to become whole. Young leaders confront his/her own past in order to bring it to healing.

3.  Creation and creativity

Human dignity and creativity is the focus. We also focus on the ecology and how to heal the earth.

4.  Reconciliation

We challenge the young leaders to think about what the work of reconciliation entails and how they can take this further in their home churches and communities.

5.  Peace and justice

Young people are taught the skill of peacemaking as developed through the “Roots and Branches” programme.
