4. What will the conference look like?

The AYA Conference will consist of 3 main sessions, several breakout sessions, a fun event, 2 meals, a prayer room, various conversation opportunities, nature trails, firepits, and connections with people who can help young adults take their next steps. Our main sessions will include worship, two 15-minute speakers per session, and opportunities for interaction and response. Our breakout sessions will be intentional group conversations led by an expert in topics relevant to Christian young adults. Friday night we have a fun event planned that everyone will want to stick around for! On Saturday, lunch and dinner will be provided (be sure to indicate any allergies/intolerances in your registration form). We have a great outdoor space for hiking and gathering around campfires as well.

5. Who are the speakers going to be at the conference?

The Alliance Young Adults leadership team has made the intentional choice to prioritize the messages that God has put on our hearts. We have spent time in prayer as a team to develop content for each of the talks. Each talk will be delivered by someone who is actively working in an Alliance ministry with young adults. We are very confident that these 6, 15-minute messages will be impactful, relevant, and biblical.

More information about speakers will be coming soon!

If at all possible, you’ll want to stay until 9:00 p.m. on Saturday! Much of the content of the conference culminates with our last service from 7-9. Consider staying through Sunday morning and attending one of the local C&MA churches listed in your conference registration confirmation email!

9. What if we want to stay Saturday night?

We would love you to stay Saturday night and attend one of the many Alliance Churches in the area on Sunday morning! Many of them are listed in your confirmation email after registration.

10. I’m 31+, can I still come?

In order to sharpen our focus on the “emerging adulthood” stage of life, we are encouraging conference attendance for those between the ages of 18-30. We recognize that every church defines this stage of life slightly differently, so exceptions will be made for those 31+ who participate regularly in their local church’s young adult ministry. Young adult ministry leaders in their local church and district/denominational leaders are also welcome to attend.

11. Will Childcare be provided?

We are unable to provide childcare for this conference. A nursing mother’s room will be available for use as needed.

12. Where will the next AYA Conference be?

We are actively praying about where to go next! Our intention is to host regional conferences around the United States. If you think your church would be a good host site and want to discuss what that could mean, contact [email protected]!
