1 Peter 2:9 (NLT)
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
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.
The theme this year is “Called Out,” rooted in 1 Peter 2:9, and we believe God is setting students apart for something greater. If you’re a student entering 6th through 12th grade—or an adult ready to serve—we want you to be part of it. Let’s go all in together.
