Talent Quest 2006


2006 Talent Quest
     Talent Quest Guidelines
     Talent Quest Registration Form

The Appalachian Conference Talent Quest ministry serves as a great opportunity for our youth to discover and develop their God-given talents in order to serve God in active ministry. Talent Quest should be a continual ministry in the local church, as young people use their gifts in the local church and their community throughout the year.

How to register your youth:
  • Use the Talent Registration form for Juniors and Teens and fill it our completely
  • Enclose the correct registration fees ($20 for single category, $35 for group category). Registration fees MUST accompany registration form. Participants are not registered until both registration form and fees are received (NO FAXES).
