Youth Weekend

Call 570-386-2154 to register your youth group or book rooms. 

Discipleship starts with real intimacy with Christ.

Leaders—grab your youth groups
Families—bring your youth and their friends
Get ready for a weekend they won’t forget!

This isn’t just another event—it’s powerful worship, high-energy services designed just for YOUth, and real moments that will challenge and grow your relationship with Jesus.

During free time you can expect:

  • Epic games
  • Incredible food
  • Meaningful conversations
  • Memories you’ll still be talking about months from now

We’ll worship loud, dive deep into God’s Word, and discover how it connects to everyday life—school, friendships, pressure, purpose… all of it.

Bring your friends. Get excited. Come hungry. Show up ready.

About our speaker Jonny Radcliff:

A bearded man wearing a baseball cap, light sweatshirt, and lanyard stands indoors with his arms open and a big smile, as if presenting to an audience at a christian retreat.

Jonny Radcliff is a Youth Pastor, Speaker, and Philadelphia Area Coordinator for NNYM (National Network of Youth Ministries).
www.nnym.org/jonny

He lives in Pennsylvania (Go Birds) with his amazing wife Sarah and their four awesome kids.

Jonny’s passion is pointing the next generation to Jesus. He believes real discipleship starts with real intimacy with Christ—because no program, speaker, or event can change a life unless Jesus is at the center.

He’s a kid at heart, so expect to laugh, have fun, and be challenged. Jonny loves Jesus, loves teens, and believes that combination is about as good as it gets.

About our worship team -University of Valley Forge Worship team:

A group of people attend a live music performance indoors at a christian retreat; some audience members have their hands raised, while musicians with microphones and instruments perform on a stage with wooden walls.

We’ll be led in worship and activities by the ministry team from the University of Valley Forge.  https://valleyforge.edu/

Year after year, they show up ready to serve and consistently model what it looks like to follow Jesus with their whole lives.

Students and adults alike are inspired by their authentic worship, contagious joy, and genuine servant-hearted leadership. They don’t just lead from the stage—they lead by example.

We will spend time together worshipping, digging in to God’s Word, applying truth to everyday life and having fun! Bring your friends and get ready to dive in for a great weekend together!

We look forward to a super fun and engaging weekend with the youth!
