TYC Objectives

The Youth Conference was created to achieve the following four objectives:

  • To bring glory and honor to God
  • To encourage young people to study God’s Word
  • To provide young people with the opportunity to speak with each other concerning God’s Word and its application in their lives
  • To build relationships between young people, young married couples and older brothers and sisters

The conference is designed for Bible students desiring and committed to learning more about God’s word. In order to maintain a spiritual focus around God’s word, it is important that attendees are committed to the conference concept and all of the following guidelines and rules.
