YOUTH 2027

YOUTH 2027 is the national gathering for United Methodist youth groups and their leaders.

YOUTH 2023 is a quadrennial event where youth from throughout The United Methodist Church and beyond gather for four days of fun and fellowship. The event will take place in Daytona Beach, Florida, on July 25-28, 2023. Since its debut in 1988, this amazing event has been filled with interactive learning, engaging worship, Bible study, and impactful service opportunities. This page also serves as an archive for YOUTH 2019 (Kansas City) and YOUTH 2015 (Orlando).
