Welcome!
The 2025 Northwest Youth Conference is coming, November 6-8, 2025! It is going to be a great conference with powerful preaching! The theme for our conference this year is “Gold Rush” taken from Psalm 19:9-10 which says, “… The Judgments of the Lord are true and righteous. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much find gold…” The Word of God is precious. In a time where it is being questioned and doubted, we must stand boldly on God’s Word.
We will have some great preaching from Pastor Dean Miller (Front Range Baptist Church) and Pastor Sammy Roberson (Liberty Baptist Church). This conference could make a difference in the future of your youth, our country, churches, and families. There will also be split sessions for all the workers to be refreshed and recharged for the work of the ministry.
Registration:
Cost is $95 per delegate if registered by October 29 (includes t-shirt, booklet, pen, food, main activities, and prizes)
After October 29, Registration is $110. (If registered after October 29, we cannot guarantee that you will have a t-shirt.)
Lodging Information:
In response to the feedback we received last year about making the conference more affordable, we are making some important changes regarding lodging. We will not be making arrangements for hotels for the conference this year. This will enable churches to make your own arrangements for a hotel or Airbnb that may be more affordable. There are discounted rates available at the Best Western Inn & Comfort Inn listed below. There are also some great Airbnb or Vrbo options in the Portland area.
