Flagship Youth Conference

6:30 PM - 9:30 PM

God is moving across this country in incredible ways. We are seeing moves of the spirit in youth all over the place, as they grow hungrier for something more than what the world has to offer. They are seeking the love of a savior, and the purpose that is instilled in a life that follows him. They long for an identity built around a relationship with Jesus, and stability of a never changing God. Flagship Youth Conference was created to help engage, teach, and give the needed tools for youth to take the next steps need in their already established relationship with God, or grow one where it never existed. Hosted at Lakes Area Vineyard, in Detroit Lakes, this two day event will be host to the power of student led worship, engaging testimonies/relationships gained in fellowship, as well as event speaker Joel Bomberger, teaching about discipleship, and how the Holy Spirit is still alive and working in Youth in 2023. This event is open to grades 6-12 and is totally free. It includes meals on Saturday, as well as a shirt for every person registered. The goal of Flagship is to create a space where students can experience God, grow in love, and give it away. As well as connect with Youth from all around the area and region, and build lasting friendships outside, and within their own communities. Come as a youth group, or come individually, we want to fill the auditorium with people and experience what God is doing in our region. Registration is required and is in this link: https://www.myvineyardchurch.com/events/youthconference Feel free to reach out to Dan Sederquist at dan@myvineyardchurch.com for questions!
