WHo is districts?

The DISTRICTS Youth Conference is held every January with the purpose of bringing youth groups from the Evangelical Free Church of America’s (EFCA) Forest Lakes Districts (FLD) together to grow in their relationship with Christ.

DISTRICTS is a growth level conference with outreach potential, where the gospel is clearly presented. This plug and play event for students in Junior & Senior High challenges and equips students to live on mission with God and take the next step in their relationship with God. 

The goal of this conference is to create an environment through large group rallies & seminars where students can experience God together and have adult leaders who can walk alongside of their students as they go home.

We offer afternoon seminars that address four specific purposes for students to choose from: Equip, Grow, Stretch & Hot Topics.

Additionally, prayer is a central part of the weekend. It saturates everything we do.
