What is YM Day? 

YM Day began in 2024 with a vision from ICOM Executive Director David Empson to give Youth Ministers a day to be encouraged, equipped and to simply relax. This is an annual gathering that provides a firehouse of current data on students, youth ministry, the church and so much more. This is presented from leading experts, seasoned venters and influential individuals from the youth ministry world. Our hope is that you will come away awakened, refreshed and inspired to keep serving Jesus in the trenches of Youth Ministry for many years to come. You play a vital role and we want you to know you are not alone. The students you serve today need to be activated in the church today, so they can lead the church for tomorrow! 

Previous guest speakers included Brad Griffin from the Fuller Youth Institute presenting research and data from their latest findings detailed in the Book Faith Beyond Youth Group. The other special guest was Jayson French, President of Christ In Youth, who presented research that CIY recently conducted and challenged churches to start measuring success with a different matrix of Timothies launched over weekly attendance. 

We invite you to join us for our next YM Day to be encouraged, equipped and to relax with others like yourselves as we come together to strengthen one another to keep serving King Jesus by making student disciples who make disciples.
