About the Conference

A faith-centered space for honest conversation and real hope.

The CIBC Youth Conference is a faith-centered youth experience created to help young people talk openly, learn biblically, and build healthy ways to respond to life’s challenges.

This year’s focus will help youth understand the reality of mental health struggles while pointing them toward hope, guidance, and strength through the Word of God. Through teaching, discussion, and supportive engagement, we want every young person to know they are seen, loved, and not alone.

Teaching Focus

Rooted in the Ten Commandments.

The conference will use the Ten Commandments as a foundation to teach reverence for God and to help youth better understand how we should treat ourselves and others.

Each day’s teaching invites young people into the Word with honesty and warmth — making space for the questions teens are actually carrying.
