What is YTHCONF?

Youth Conference brings together a diverse community from many different cities, but all united under one name: JESUS.  We would love for you to join us for a powerful weekend with other students & pastors from across Florida. Together, we will worship the Name that is above all names and celebrate the advancement of God’s kingdom in our state! It would be our honor to serve you at Youth Conference, November 8th-9th.
