Conferences

Dare Ministries conducts youth conferences in which young Saints are encouraged to examine the truth found in Scripture. They are encouraged to stand against the evils of the day and to be lights in their places of work, education, and recreation. These conferences stand as an example that there is no age requirement for sharing the Gospel and doing what is right.

The 2021 Dare Conference will be August 13-14, 2021 at Vista Grande Baptist Church. The theme is “Dare To Be Dedicated” – to your local church, to the people God places in your life, and to God.  Won’t you join us for a weekend of prayer and Bible study? Tickets are on sale now – only $15 – Register here!
