WKND.27 Youth Conference

April 2-3, 2027 | $55

WKND.27 Youth Conference is Concord Students’ annual spring youth conference, where students can connect with peers, grow in their faith, and experience the power of God’s Word. Through worship, biblical preaching, small-group Bible studies, good food, recreation, and fellowship, students will have opportunities to deepen their faith in Jesus and build lasting relationships.

THEME OF YOUTH CONFERENCE

EXILES

Exiles Awaiting Eternity: Throughout the weekend, we’ll walk through the book of 1 Peter and explore what it means to live as followers of Jesus in a world that is not our home. We’ll consider how the gospel shapes our identity, how we respond to suffering, and how the hope of eternity transforms the way we live today.

Cell phones may not be used during worship services or teaching sessions. If a student's phone becomes a distraction during the conference, a volunteer may collect it and return it at an appropriate time.
Do visiting churches need to bring adult chaperones, or can students attend without leaders?
Yes, visiting churches are required to bring adult chaperones based on the number of students attending. We ask for a 1 adult to every 7 students ratio. This applies to both male and female students, and churches should bring both male and female adult leaders accordingly.
