Our Story
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.
The Today’s Teens Conference 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 need to be IN IT TOGETEHER to have a significant ministry impact coming out of a worldwide pandemic that changed everything!
Today’s Teens Conference 2024 has found a NEW HOME to host one of Canada’s longest running youth workers & youth training experiences at Bramalea Baptist Church (Brampton, Ontario). This annual “Ontario Youth Ministry Gathering” is a one-day experience designed to train youth pastors, parents, camp leaders, community workers and volunteer ministry team leaders, alongside their youth, and send them back into their communities equipped, encouraged and inspired to lead the next generation towards FOLLOWING Jesus.
We are proud to emphasize CANADIAN content and communicators as well as additional top level communicators who will help us rethink and adjust how we minister to youth, both inside and outside of the church, and see how we need to be IN IT TOGETHER with our entire church family, with our local community, and with the Holy Spirit in order to most effectively minister to and with youth.
Through this conference we will see that there are new and innovative ways to be the church as we come TOGETHER to resource, support and learn from one another. We have the chance and responsibility 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. We have 2 keynote sessions and 27 Workshops for youth workers and 2 keynote sessions with one being a panel of innovative student leaders along with 14 workshop options for student leaders. Moreover, we have special guest appearances and music with Sanctus Worship & OJ the DJ, to give us time to respond to the Holy Spirit as we look at what it takes to be IN IT TOGETHER.
Make sure you don't miss out on this great chance to learn and network with hundreds of like-minded ministry leaders from across southern Ontario while getting access to the latest resources for youth ministry.
