WHAT:
New York Youth Convention... A gathering of teenagers from all over New York State to seek God together and grow spiritually. There are four services over the three days with a great worship team and a speaker who will be communicating directly to teenagers. When services are over, the retreat-like atmosphere will allow our students to connect with one another and Centerway leaders. Free time activities will be enjoyed as a group.
