Connect is for
Youth Leaders, Ministers and Elders
The Connect Conference is for anyone 16 years+ in your congregation who is interested in the all-important mission to connect, serve and disciple young people.
Junior Leaders aged 16+
This year we will have lots on offer for junior leaders or future leaders in training aged 16+. These leaders need to be accompanied by at least one adult for every 6 junior leaders. We know the Connect Conference will be an amazing learning experience for them.
Young Adults aged 18-30(ish)
At Connect 2025 we are making a special place for all young adults aged 18-30(ish), and not just those who are interested in youth ministry. Alongside experiencing the amazing worship and community that the Connect conference offers we will offer great content targeted at several of the relevant interests and issues that many young adults wrestle with.
Can’t make it by 3:00pm on Friday?
No problem. There are great opportunities to connect and learn from 3pm but you can arrive anytime on Friday the 17th of August.
