The DISTRICTS Youth Conference is held every January with the purpose of bringing youth groups from Wisconsin together to worship, grow, connect & serve together.
We desire for DYC to be a plug and play conference experience where your students can grow deeper in relationship with God & their community. Our heart is to come along side you as a ministry leader in the discipleship & growth of your students! We aim for all of the elements of DYC weekend to center around these CORE VALUES:
DYC is focused on Gospel-centered teachings that encourage authentic and genuine spiritual growth. Through the main sessions, serving opportunities & workshops, we desire to encourage and challenge students to think about their faith honestly. The aim is that growth would not stop at this conference. We desire for DYC to be a catalyst to growth that follows students back home to their local churches, schools & homes.
At DYC, we strive for students to feel like they have a place to belong. We provide small and large group time to foster meaningful connections. Through things like Open Mic, Service Projects and group times, our aim is for students to build healthy, Godly relationships and experience true community, ensuring they leave with stronger connections that extend to their local communities. Most importantly, we desire to create a space where students can put their normal lives on hold and focus on connecting with God.
Students bring an amazing energy to the Church. At DYC, we see fun as a love language to connect with teens. We want to create a space where fun can be used as a catalyst to spiritual growth. Through sessions, late night options & free time, we desire for students to experience some good, clean FUN!
We desire for DYC to be a conference where students connect with each other in deep community & also have their eyes opened to the broader church - both local & global. We bring in speakers who know and can speak to the culture that our students swim in here in the midwest and simultaneously open their eyes to the church around the world. We also use our service project as a launching pad to serving underprivileged people around the world.
