Jr. High

National Junior High Conference (NJHC) brings together junior high youth and advisors for a faith formation experience.

Sr. High

Christian Citizenship Seminar provides high school aged students and their advisors the chance to explore the relationship between faith and a particular political issue, and then act from a faith perspective regarding that issue.

National Youth Conference (NYC) gathers high school aged youth and advisors from across the country for a week long worship and fellowship extravaganza Brethren style!

The National Youth Cabinet helps shape and plan senior high events (NYC, CCS, National Youth Sunday). Six youth from across the United States serve a two-year term. Youth are nominated by adults.

Young Adult

Young Adult Conference (YAC) offers people ages 18-35 the chance to worship and fellowship over Memorial Day weekend.

The Young Adult Steering Committee helps shape and plan Young Adult Conference annually. The YASC also contributes to Bridge, the denominational young adult newsletter. Six young adults, between the ages of 18 and 35, from across the United States serve three-year terms. To apply, visit https://forms.gle/F8e7gNxb38TSTJg47.
