NextGen
Faith, friendship and purpose in a room young people can call their own.
More than somewhere
to send the teenagers.
NextGen is a full convention track. Young people worship, learn, create and talk through subjects that belong to their stage of life.
The program runs alongside the adult schedule, then reconnects participants with the wider convention for shared moments throughout the week.
What grows in the room
-
Faith they can speak about
Biblical teaching connects belief with the choices, questions and relationships young people navigate now.
-
Honest conversation
Facilitated discussions create room for questions about identity, pressure, friendship, wellness and purpose.
-
Worship of their own
Young people participate in worship, prayer and creative ministry within a setting built for their generation.
-
Leadership in practice
Team activities invite participants to speak, create, collaborate and recognize the gifts they can use to serve others.
-
Friendships beyond a screen
Meals, group work and shared experiences help young people connect across churches, cities and family networks.
They participate.
They do not watch from the back.
Belonging with responsibility.
NextGen gives young people an active role through discussion, worship, creative work, performance and shared leadership. The goal is belonging with responsibility, not entertainment without connection.
