Michigan Statewide Teen Convention
The Basics
Michigan Statewide Teen Convention has been gathering youth groups of High School students together for a statewide convention for decades. Their mission is to bring the Christian teens of Michigan together for encouragement and to set them on a mission for the Gospel of Jesus. Statewide is organized by a group of committed youth ministers and volunteers each year through monthly planning meetings. It is our hope that this weekend helps students to develop as people and disciples of Christ through teaching, worship, and christian community.
Students stay at South Lansing Christian Church overnight and get transported to Great Lakes Christian College for the main sessions of the event. In between the main sessions, students engage in small group conversations and activities that are provided by the event staff or by the youth ministry volunteers.
Cost: $60 (This includes travel, housing, registration, and most of your students meals.)
Statewide runs from 5pm on Friday night to 11am on the following Sunday.
RANSOM
Our theme for Statewide 2024 is RANSOM.
Join us as we look at what it means to have Jesus as our savior who gives himself as a ransom for us.
