Registration: 8:30am-9:00am
Conference: 9:00am-3:00pm
Speaker: Pastor Brent Sivnksty
We as a society take joy in who we are. Some identify as athletes or as a member of their favorite sports team. Others identify based on a job or what they are studying in school. We identify based on our beliefs and values, even our hobbies. Some are musicians while others are gamers. We even identify as Americans, citizens of a great nation. As Christians, however, we find our IDENTITY in more than just a team, a hobby, our country or ethnicity. We find our IDENTITY in who we are in Jesus Christ and His church. We then have the privilege to join together as members of the church, each bringing something to the table in order to strengthen one another.
The 2026 Wisconsin State Youth Conference seeks to encourage young people to serve the Lord with their lives and find their real IDENTITY in Jesus Christ. Who are you in Jesus? What can you do within the body of Christ? We hope you will come to the Wisconsin State Youth Conference to hear more about the amazing entity called “the church” and how you can find your IDENTITY in Christ.
