The Walkwith901 program is a youth and young adult social ministry program geared towards teaching young people to be socially-conscious and culturally-astute Christian leaders. Designed to allow for introspective reflection, youth, take a heart-journey to gage the depths and strength of their own walks in Christ.  Every person walks a different path and these paths create the footprints of change.

In the spirit of MLK50, high school students from around the Diocese will come together to explore social justice issues revolving around race and class.  How have these issued affected the city of Memphis over the years and how can we move forward in a positive direction.
