UNITE is a winter youth conference for High School students who are eager to connect deeper in faith and
make a difference in the world today for Christ. Pastors and parents will be encouraged to see their youth
come home with a stronger passion for service, resources to engage in local congregations, and tools to go
deeper with Christ.
Packed full of workshop opportunities, fun community activities, amazing food, time exploring Redondo
Beach, and powerful worship this experience will guide you in defining your passions, skills, and future ministry whatever it may be. Are you passionate about drama, music, technology, media, environmental justice,
worship leadership, dance, or photography? What about creative design, construction, or programming?
Whatever they may be, this weekend will offer an opportunity and safe space to practice your gifts and learn
from mentors to propel you into leadership that makes a difference.
We are serious about our theme UNITE! Youth leaders and pastors from all over the PSWR are volunteering
their time, gifts, and resources to bring together young leaders from the Hispanic Convencion, African American Convocation, North American/Pacific Asian Disciples, and Anglo/European communities. These amazing
leaders are designing workshops and programming that will be welcoming of all cultures, respectful of various
perspectives, and focused on the ministry and call of Jesus Christ! WE ARE THE PSWR! It is time to UNITE to
change the world for the better!
All high school youth will be equipped with resources to bring back to their local church to share with their
faith community! This means we are equipping leaders to be more active, more supportive, and more engaged in the leadership of their home churches. What Pastor and parent wouldnt want this for their youth?
The cost is $150.00 per youth and includes housing, food, programming, and more. Adult chaperones are encouraged to attend as well, providing support throughout the weekend. The cost for chaperones is only $25
per adult (1 adult for every 5 youth is recommended).

Not forgotten
My wife, Lesa, and I attended a pastorappreciation event put on by a radio station.
When the worship leader asked attendees to turn
to one another and share prayer needs, my wife
met a pastor who described his church plant,
which wasnt growing. He was discouraged and
unsure what the future held.
When Lesa asked the name of the church,
she smiled and asked if it was near a campground.
The pastor said yes. Lesa responded, Just a few
weeks ago, we were camping nearby. A friend
and I walked right past your church, and God led
me to be praying for it! In a room of more than
300 people, God put Lesa next to this discouraged
pastor so he could know that God hadnt forgotten him.
God is working behind the scenes in ways
we may never see. Despite lifes challenges, God
is for us and not against us. We arent walking this
journey alone.
