Growing up today feels like walking on unstable ground. Fake content floods our screens. Conflicting voices call for our approval. Friends change and let us down. In all the uncertainty and anxiety of life, how can we know what’s real? And more than that, who can we trust?
The Always Ready youth conference from Ligonier Ministries invites teenagers to step out of the confusion and into the clarity of Scripture. Together, we’ll explore why we can put our trust in God, His Word, and His gospel. Here is solid ground for real confidence and hope in Christ.
During this full day of biblical teaching and fellowship, join with Christians ages 12–18 to lay the foundation for a life that’s anchored and steadfast to the glory of God.
