YTHCON 2026

River Valley Youth Conference is for any students in grades 6-12! Youth students from River Valley and Network Churches across the Midwest come together for an exciting two-day conference filled with worship, speakers, fun activities and more! River Valley Youth Conference began in 2022 and has continued to grow each year. This year, the conference had 15 Network Churches, and over 900 students and leaders attend the River Valley Youth Conference!

The theme for this year’s River Valley Youth Conference was "Take Hold." It focused on TAKING HOLD of the eternal life you were created for! We had guest speaker Pastor Noah Herrin from Way Church, and our very own Pastor Gabi O’Rourke join us. River Valley AGES led worship and introduced their new song, "Hands and Feet.”

If you or your student weren’t able to join us for River Valley Youth Conference and are curious about next year’s, check back for more details here! In the meantime, River Valley Youth Groups happen every Wednesday year-round at multiple River Valley locations. If you want to learn more about River Valley Youth Groups, click here!
