The River Church

420 CW ROAD, JUDSONIA, AR 72143

We are very excited to announce a monumental change to DESTINYNOW Youth Conference this winter. Due to some minor changes, we are excited to be able to open this event to all students at NO registration cost. We believe this will make DESTINYNOW accessible to students who otherwise could not afford to attend. We have just changed the registration link to reflect this exciting change, and now, when you go to register, you will have the option as a pastor or youth leader to register your entire group for free -OR- to select a meal ticket option at $15 per person to eat catered lunch on-site Thursday the 28th. This will allow you to not have to leave the campus and worry about making it back for the afternoon session.

This change has been prayerfully made to help all students attend. We are able to make this possible by changing the schedule of DESTINYNOW to end earlier on Friday and by your generosity as the wonderful pastors that make up Destiny Leaders. We are asking youth pastors and pastors to consider bringing an offering on behalf of their church, which will be received at the event to help Destiny cover and offset the expenses associated with hosting this excellent conference. Thank you for your continued to prayer, support, and faith for the next generation. And remember, the time is NOW.

 May you hear the humble and earnest requests from me and your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear us from heaven where you live, and when you hear, forgive.
