Ken Wettig is the director of SLAQ, (Servant Leader Quest). SLAQ combines real life outdoor adventure with faith formation to raise up, from diverse backgrounds, servant leaders for the next generation church.

With its healthy combination of faith formation and outdoor adventure, SLAQ has tapped into the interest, and excitement of both parents and high schoolers. SLAQ has 3 distinct yet interconnected aspects: adventure, formation, and leadership. There are nine monthly adventure excursions as an entry way available to youth ages 13-17, that culminates in a weeklong 100 plus mile bikepacking “Faith Adventure.” Formation follows through a Discipleship Co-op that can come alongside both parents and a local church and provide a context for deepening Christian faith and action among a cohort of high school students. A core group of emerging adults are invited to practically hone their own leadership skills as they serve the SLAQ project and are regularly mentored by Ken.
