The Heart of YTHCON 26'

Element Youth is thrilled to host our second annual YTHCON this summer from July 21st-23rd!  We have three action-packed days that will consist of powerful preaching, amazing worship, small groups, breakout sessions, friendly team competitions, and evening after parties! We believe YTHCON25 is going to bring students deeper in their relationship with Jesus and that these three days will be life changing for every student that attends.


This Year's Theme: More Than a Moment

This isn’t just a tagline, it’s something we actually believe. YouthCon isn’t meant to be a moment you feel and then move on from or something that stays inside a church building. It’s about a kind of faith that goes with you when you leave, that shows up in your everyday life, in the hard moments and the ordinary ones too. Through powerful sessions, honest worship, and real conversations, we’re going after something deeper, a faith that doesn’t fade but stays with you and keeps growing long after this conference is over.
