Evening Sessions
Our Evening Sessions take place after dinner and are designed to build community, spark excitement, and create unforgettable moments throughout the HOPE First Youth Conference.
Launch
Launch is our high‑energy kickoff a pep‑rally‑style experience held on the first night of our conference that sets the tone for the entire conference. During Launch, churches and ministries are invited to the platform to introduce themselves through chants, dances, songs, or creative presentations. It’s loud, fun, and full of HOPE First spirit.
Block Party
The Block Party gives our youth a chance to unwind, play games, and connect with new friends. It’s a relaxed, social environment where delegates can laugh, bond, and build relationships that last beyond the conference.
Talent Show
Our Talent Show is a crowd favorite. Youth showcase their gifts — singing, dancing, spoken word, comedy,
and more. The winner earns a special opportunity to present during the Presentation Program on
December 29th and will also be featured at next year’s Launch.
Evening Worship
A powerful time of praise, reflection, and encountering God together. Evening Worship brings our youth into a deeper place of unity and spiritual renewal.
Presentation Day
Presentation Day is the grand finale and held on Dec. 29th. Students from the Worship & Arts Academy and other conference classes present what they’ve learned over the weekend. Pastors, parents, and family members are invited to celebrate their children’s creativity, growth, and hard work. This is also the moment when we announce the new MVP of the conference.
