Morning Sessions

Our Morning Sessions set the spiritual and energetic tone for each day of the HOPE First Youth Conference. These sessions help our youth center their hearts, focus their minds, and prepare for everything God wants to do throughout the day.

Intercessory Prayer

Intercessory Prayer is the spiritual foundation of our conference. During this time, our youth and leaders come together to seek God, cover the day in prayer, and prepare their hearts for everything He wants to do. It’s a focused moment of unity, worship, and expectation setting the atmosphere for breakthrough, learning, and transformation throughout the rest of the day.

Shabach Praise

Connect Groups are the heartbeat of the HOPE First Youth Conference. Designed for youth ages 12–18, these small‑group sessions create a safe, welcoming space for young people to process what they’ve heard, share openly, and build meaningful relationships with fellow attendees.

General Session

In these groups, youth have the opportunity to:

Dive deeper into the message
Ask questions and explore real‑life application
Express their thoughts, experiences, and perspectives
Build friendships that extend beyond the conference
Grow spiritually in a supportive, judgment‑free environment

Choir Rehearsal

All youth should participate in the conference choir. No prior experience is needed, delegates are encouraged to come with an open heart and a willingness to learn. Choir rehearsals prepare them for their special presentation during the conference and give every delegate the chance to experience worship through music together.

Our Connection Doesn’t End at the Convention

If any of our youth need someone to talk to or want support beyond the conference, they can reach out through the HOPELine. We’re here to listen, encourage, and walk with you. CLICK HERE to request assistance.
