About the Young Ministers Conference
The Young Ministers Conference (YMC) is a commission established under Partners With Christ Foundation (PWCF) with a specific mandate: to bring balance to the Body of Christ, particularly among young ministers, and to restore authentic Christian life back into the Church.
YMC exists at the intersection of spiritual formation and practical ministry equipping. It is not merely a conference; it is a movement committed to raising a generation of Kingdom builders who are grounded in the Word, effective in their spheres, and ready for eternity.
Why YMC exists
Equip Young Ministers
Equip young ministers, leaders, and church workers with biblical knowledge, character, and practical ministry skills.
Unite Christian Leaders
Unite young Christian leaders across regions for collaboration, fellowship, and accountability.
Empower Balanced Christian Living
Empower participants to balance spiritual calling with social relevance in their spheres of influence.
Establish Kingdom Influence
Establish a network of ministers who will carry Kingdom values into the seven mountains of influence.
Five core objectives
1. Spiritual Revival
Strengthen devotion, holiness, and passion for souls among young ministers. Reignite the fire of genuine consecration and hunger for God in a generation increasingly distracted by culture.
2. Leadership Training
Teach effective leadership, stewardship, and integrity. Equip ministers to lead with accountability, humility, and excellence, not just in pulpit ministry, but in every area of life.
3. Skill and Capacity Building
Provide practical knowledge across key ministry-adjacent disciplines, including media and digital communication, counselling and pastoral care, entrepreneurship and financial stewardship, and community impact and social responsibility.
4. Regional Impact
Rotate conference locations across Nigeria to spread Kingdom influence and allow each region to contribute its unique spiritual and cultural strengths to the wider Body.
5. Mentorship Network
Connect young ministers with seasoned, proven leaders for ongoing guidance, accountability, and spiritual fathering. Build a structured network that outlasts each conference gathering.
Proposed conference structure
This is the proposed programme framework for the conference. Confirmed session times, speakers and facilitators will be announced by the conference team.
Opening Session
Worship, the Word, and Vision Casting for YMC. Participants are welcomed into the YMC family and given a clear picture of what this movement is and where it is going.
Teaching Sessions
In-depth biblical and practical teaching covering The Call and the Cost, Balancing the Pulpit and the Marketplace, and Building from the Base.
Workshops and Breakout Groups
Focused, hands-on discussions led by facilitators on evangelism strategies, youth ministry, church administration, digital ministry, and business and business management.
Panel Discussion
Experienced ministers share wisdom from years of faithful service. Open Q&A gives young ministers direct access to answers from those who have walked the path.
Prayer and Impartation Night
Revival-focused intercession, spiritual warfare, and laying on of hands. A sacred space for encounter, rededication, and fresh commissioning.
Networking and Commitment Session
Building partnerships, exchanging contacts, and setting personal accountability goals. Participants leave not just inspired but connected and committed.
A movement designed to travel
YMC is designed to travel. Each edition rotates to a new region of Nigeria, ensuring the movement's reach, diversity, and impact are not confined to one location.
Phase 1
YMC Lagos — Western Nigeria
Focus on urban ministry, youth engagement, digital church, and reaching the marketplace generation.
Phase 2
YMC Imo — Eastern Nigeria
Focus on revival fire, missions, and grassroots discipleship in a region known for deep spirituality and evangelistic energy.
Phase 3
YMC Abuja — North Central
Focus on national influence, leadership at the highest levels, and establishing Kingdom values in governance, policy, and public life.
After Phase 3, the cycle continues — each new round bringing a fresh theme, an updated curriculum, and new voices, while building on the foundation laid previously.
The 2026 conference advertised on this page is scheduled for Imo State, at Graceland Prayer Camp, Ihiteokada, Urata, Owerri North, 11–14 November 2026. The regional phases above describe the movement's broader strategic vision for future editions.
