What is the next generation conference?

The next generation conference features three main parts:
Strand Groups + Workshops + Bible Talks


During strand groups, delegates learn to teach the gospel to others. A team of experienced strand group leaders have been assembled to help delegates get the most out of the week.


Delegates choose from either the Children's Ministry Stream, Youth Ministry Stream or the Rising Leaders' Stream.


Strand Groups | Youth and Children's Ministry Streams
Learn how to prepare and present a New Testament Bible study (strand 1), an Old Testament Bible study (strand 2) and a topical Bible study (strand 3).
