We would love for you to join us for a time of collaboration and encounter with your young people. There will be teaching, worship, inflatables, footy cage, merch, tuck shop & so much more!
The theme for this years conference is ‘Rhythms & Patterns’ looking at what it means to practice faith in our everyday life. The last 18 months have disrupted almost everything in our lives & one thing I know is a struggle across the board is contending for space with God. Our heart is really to speak into those struggles, to share ways in which we can learn either for the first time or again, what it means to follow Jesus and put one foot on front of the other.
We will do this with YOU - The Youth Leader! We value your hourly, daily, weekly commitment to teenagers and believe the best conversations happen with those we trust. So we will be making lots of space throughout time for youth and their leaders to discuss, listen, learn and pray together.
As we build towards our time together, please follow along on Instagram @thewkndconf for updates and feel free to share them across your youth platforms.
