2026 NextGen Leader Conference

We invite all preschool, kids, and student ministry volunteers from all local campuses to join us on Saturday, August 1, 2026 from 9:00am-1:30pm at the Smyrna Campus for our NextGen Leader Conference.

As you disciple the next generation, we want to equip you in your ministry area. This is not a day of policy training, but a time of equipping you to continue to help the next generation find life in Christ through plenary sessions and breakouts from experienced NextGen ministry leaders.

New volunteers/leaders check-in begins at 8:00am.
Returning volunteers/leaders check-in begins at 8:30am.
Conference begins at 9:00am.

We’re excited to have Senior Pastor Pat Hood and NextGen Pastor Jody Livingston as our guest speakers. They’ll be pouring into leaders—encouraging them in the calling God has placed on their lives and equipping them with the wisdom, support, and practical tools needed to lead with strength and confidence.

*Childcare will not be available during the conference.*

*As this conference is open to all of our NextGen leaders and volunteers, childcare will not be offered. Our desire is for every leader to be fully present—encouraged, refreshed, and equipped as you continue discipling the next generation.*
