CENTRAL QUEENSLAND
CQ Launch – A Leaders In Training Camp is for students in Year 10-12 who have been encouraged by their home church to consider Christian leadership. It is an opportunity to hear from the Bible, be equipped in ministry skills and connect with peers from other churches who love Jesus and want to serve him. Launch Camp is designed to be attended for three consecutive years with each year providing different areas of growth and training (see below.)
CQ Launch has been serving young people in CQ churches since 2021. In 2025 and beyond CQ Launch Camps will be partnering with Youthworks Leaders In Training to help raise the next generation of leaders in our churches. Launch Camp is open to participants from any denomination.
Attendees – Please discuss registering for Launch Camp with your church before submitting your registration.
