Conference Speakers

The Geneartion Conference Team strives to bring in speakers that are passionate about reaching this generation for God. But, the conference is so-o-o not about the speakers, but more importantly what God does in every individual present. This year's conference is not just a single event, but another gathering time God will use to build a upon a foundation that will last for each person's lifetime.

The Conference Team is passionate about people and effecting the local church. Every year we are overwhelmed by the testimonies of the youth, leaders, and whole churches when those who attend the conference get back to their home church.

Jordan Boyce

Jordan Boyce saw God change the hearts of a handful of teenagers who rose up on their own without even a youth pastor to change their youth group to a youth movement, birth a youth conference and destroy the mentality of the cake and ice cream youth group. Two years later, Jordan now belongs to a thriving youth ministry with a phenomenal youth pastor called groundZero, which is the student ministry of his home church, New Life Worship Center in Rhode Island. He has a heart to see young people be real with each other and God. He is just a normal 17 year old who has taken a stand in his generation and wants to stand with other young people- because they are the hope for a dying nation.
