The Difference:  What is it? “The Difference” is an annual city-wide retreat sponsored by 9 churches in our community.  The weekend involves in-depth small group discussion and study, worship led by Branch and a great speaker.  There is also lots of recreation, sports tournaments, and great fellowship with youth from all over our great community!  Youth MInistries United is a group of youth ministers in the community that feel like God has some great things in store for the amazing youth of Nacogdoches.  The Difference is our chance to come together and celebrate how God is using the youth while they search for the ways God will use them to make a difference in their families, their churches, their community, and their world!
