CONFERENCE

Youth leaders have a difficult job that leaves them feeling alone and lacking in wisdom on how to best minister to students. The PCA values you in student ministry, and the Nextgen Conference seeks to equip, encourage, and empower Youth Leaders. Youth Leaders will leave this conference with connections to help them serve in the Student Ministry they’re called to and with training that they can implement in their unique setting. We will have options for seminars, downtime to be encouraged by other Youth Leaders, and great evenings of worship!
