After my brother died, I realized that I really wanted to become more religious to feel closer to him. I started going back to church and focusing on healthier living, and it felt like someone opened a window in my life. All of the sudden, I was able to experience a profound level of happiness and security that I had never felt before, and it was really incredible. I realized that religion was real and that it really made a difference, and I absolutely loved it. This blog is here to help other people who might have fallen away from religion to recognize its potential power in your life.
If you have ever been in charge of planning a youth conference, you already know it is a monumental task that requires a lot of time to organize. From determining a budget to finding the best location, it can all feel overwhelming. Following a few planning strategies can help reduce the tension and help you plan an amazing event that will make a big impact on the youth attending.
Establish a budget
Setting a realistic budget is the foundation for planning a great youth conference. Every part of the planning process depends on how much you can realistically spend. A well-designed budget will also help you determine if you need to hold a fundraiser event to offset the cost or how much sponsors will need to contribute if they plan to support an attendee.
Find your people
You will need plenty of help planning your youth conference. Ask for volunteers who work in the youth ministry at your church to be part of the planning committee. Those who work regularly with youth will be a vital part of your committee because they are aware of what appeals to the youth and what games and events will most likely bring youth to the event.
Decide on a location
The location can be a big draw for attendees, but it is not the most important thing. You can save a lot of money if you host the event at your church if space allows. While a great venue can be helpful, you should focus on choose a place that is able to accommodate your group, is in a safe location, and does not require a lengthy amount of travel time to reach.
Schedule special guests
Allot plenty of money for bringing in special speakers, entertainers, worship bands, etc., because these are the things that will make the most impact on your event. A great worship speaker and worship band will be leading the main events at your youth conference and are sure to make the experience memorable for those attending. Well-known guests will get the attention of potential attendees.
Youth conferences are important events that can dramatically impact a child's walk of faith. Planning a great youth conference is important and will help make the event memorable and successful. Having a plan in place is the key and can make a big difference in reducing stress and anxiety when planning your next event.
