The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18 NLT
The message of the cross may look FOOLISH to the world, but for the next generation it is the power that changes everything. That’s why we’re committed to creating opportunities for students to encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, and be equipped to live out the gospel with boldness. If the world calls the cross foolish, then we choose to be “FOOLS” for Christ who boast in the power of the Gospel, not the world’s wisdom. That’s the heartbeat behind these events.
YTH CONF is a high-energy, two-day experience created to inspire and equip students from 6th to 12th grade to become the world changers God has called them to be. YTH CONF is sponsored by General Baptist Ministries and hosted by Real Life Church in Mountain Home, Arkansas, and Generation Church in Portland, Tennessee.
YTH CONF is offered at two different locations, making it easier for students and youth groups to be part of something life-changing. From powerful worship and dynamic teaching to late-night fun, food, and after-parties. Every moment is crafted to help students grow in their faith and deepen relationships with God and each other.
Whether you’re joining us at Real Life Church or Generation Church, you can expect a weekend packed with meaningful encounters and unforgettable moments.
