About this event
Over 45,000 Youth & Youth Workers have been equipped through the annual Today’s Teens Conference over the last 39 years – we hope you join with a 1000 youth and youth workers for our 40th Anniversary on Feb 25, 2023
WHAT Today's Teens Conference is ALL ABOUT:
Today’s Teens Conference 2023 is BACK IN PERSON ready to celebrate our 40th Anniversary at the location of the early years of the conference (Bayview Glen Church in Markham, Ontario). This annual “Ontario Youth Ministry Gathering” is a one-day experience designed to train youth pastors, parents, camp leaders, community workers and volunteer ministry team leaders, alongside their youth, back into their communities equipped, encouraged and inspired to lead the next generation towards FOLLOWING Jesus.
We are proud to emphasize that we have 100% CANADIAN content and communicators as we all look to rethink and adjust how we effectively minister to youth, both inside and outside of the church, and see how ministering to and with youth is truly“SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY” in this post-COVID reality.
Through this conference we will see that the EXTRAORDINARY is actual found right in front of us every day through what is often seen as simply ordinary – the chance to invest into students, to share the message of Jesus, to be a listening ear, to love faithfully, to seek justice, to live out the word of God.
We have 30 practical workshops, 4 keynote speakers (FINU IYPE, LAURA BRONSON, HERBIE KUHN & MEISHA WATSON) , special guest appearances, an amazing worship band (Sanctus Church Worship) and lots of time to network with others while accessing the latest resources for ministry.
