This year’s Today’s Teens Conference is happening on February 25, 2023! The Today’s Teens Conference is the longest running Youth Ministry training conference in Canada, started by John Wilkinson with a commitment to provide those ministering to youth with the latest research and trends, practical skill development and awareness of what it takes to relevantly reach and disciple the next generation. Today’s Teens Conference 2023 is BACK IN PERSON ready to celebrate our 40th Anniversary at the original location of conference (Bayview Glen Church in Markham, Ontario) as a gathering of ministry leaders, youth workers, pastors, teachers, community workers, camp staff, and student leaders all under one roof! The Today’s Teens is about inspiring, equipping and networking thousands of youth, young adults and adults with the latest research and training resources to most effectively respond to the challenging realities of ministering to this next generation and see how we have EXTRAORDINARY ministry impact coming out of a worldwide pandemic that changed everything! We are proud to emphasize CANADIAN content and communicators as we all look to rethink and adjust how we minister to youth, both inside and outside of the church, and see how youth ministry truly is “SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY”. Through this conference we will see that the EXTRAORDINARY is something right in front of us every day – the chance to invest into students, to share the message of Jesus, to be a listening ear, to love faithfully, to seek justice, to live out the word of God. http://todaysteens.ca
