A different kind of youth conference
Most youth conferences focus on energy, hype, and a few big takeaways. DM2 is built differently. The week is rooted in verse-by-verse Bible teaching, with the goal of equipping students to teach what they're learning to others.
We believe young people can shape their communities and their churches. Five days of immersive Bible study can change the way a student reads Scripture, shares their faith, and lives out what they believe.
Galatians: Walking in Freedom
This year we're studying Galatians, with a focus on sanctification: how the Christian life grows after a person is saved. Paul wrote Galatians to a church that was drifting back into legalism, trying to earn their growth through rule-keeping. His answer was that the same gospel that saves us is the gospel that grows us.
Together we'll work through the book and see what it means to walk by the Spirit, bear the fruit of the Spirit, and live the freedom Christ purchased for us.
What you'll get out of the week
- A stronger personal relationship with God
- Practical training in how to share your faith
- New friendships with other young people who take their faith seriously
- Verse-by-verse Bible teaching that goes deeper than most youth conferences
- Tools to face today's culture with hope and clarity
- A week that changes the way you read Scripture for years to come

"I have learned that I cannot be saved by good works or what I feel. Christ died for me the imperfect sinner, therefore I can do nothing for myself to enter heaven rather, instead of leaning on my own understanding, I have to put my trust in the Lord. It is what Christ through God did for me."
"I learned so much, but one very important thing I got from this DM2 conference is how we are saved, by believing. I always heard about believing, but also thought we had to (do other things) ... but DM2 just opened my eyes and showed me the difference between two totally different things."
"I love this conference so much! The friendships and knowledge built here are a unique and wonderful thing."
