LMC Updates

Faith Formation – YouthCon 2026

We are hard at work planning for YouthCon 2026, the youth conference that will run in conjunction with Assembly '26 in June.

As we work out the details, we'd welcome your thoughts and feedback! What observations do you have about the faith formation of the next generations? Where is the Spirit breaking through? Where are you finding resistance?

Ultimately, we hope from your feedback to gain a greater sense of what would make YouthCon a success for you and your ministry.

Complete the 3-5 minute survey here. Thank you for your input!
