City On The Hill '09 Part 1

Our 10th annual City on the Hill Youth Leadership Conference will be held July 25-31, 2010, on the campus of Lancaster Bible College!

City on the Hill (COTH) is a fantastic opportunity for high school students ages 15 through 18 to participate in training designed to uncover God-given leadership ability:

New Attitude
In just the course of a week, lives are transformed by the renewing of minds. Attendees are encouraged and equipped to stand for truth against what the world defines as true. They hear stories from legislators, lobbyists, lawyers, educators and others that challenge them and awaken their imaginations to the many career opportunities awaiting them.

The dynamic 2008 speaker lineup included Brett Kunkle of Stand to Reason, Dr. Alberta Wilson of Faith First, State Rep. Rob Kauffman, Andrew Samuels of Graystone Bank, Pennsylvania Family Institute president Michael Geer, and others.

New Title
As the conference begins, what before was a group of young people now becomes a group of senators. Each attendee is sworn in and addressed as Senator. Each is given instruction, elect leaders, and introduce bills that are currently being addressed by the Commonwealth.

The real impact with becoming a senator is not just being addressed as one. Towards the end of the week, the senators will debate their bills in actual committee rooms and on the floor of the Senate chamber in the Harrisburg capitol (a rare opportunity that is rewarding and inspiring).

New Friendships
The senators stay on the Lancaster Bible College campus for the week. Through meals, activities, games and even a trip to Hershey Park, students have made life-long friendships by sharing in the experience of City on the Hill.
