Indiana State Youth Convention
What is the Indiana State Youth Convention?
The Indiana State Youth Convention is an annual gathering of students and leaders from across the state of Indiana who come together for a weekend of worship, community, and fun.
Our vision is to create an environment where students are given opportunities to encounter Christ personally, discover their unique calling, and cultivate deep, authentic community. We envision a generation of young people empowered to live out their faith boldly, equipped with spiritual, personal, and leadership tools, and deeply connected to a Christ-centered community that supports their journey. Through worship, relevant teaching, and immersive experiences, students will be inspired to not only follow Jesus but also to influence their world for His glory.
