Young People’s Address at General Conference 2008

What concerns young people? What issues do young people confront? What dreams do young people have for the future? What word do they have to share with the church today?

A young person or a team of young people will tackle these questions when they address the 2008 United Methodist General Conference, April 22 - May 28 in Ft. Worth, TX. Presenting the Young People’s Address to the 1,000 decision makers of the United Methodist Church is a unique opporunity to make the voice of young people heard throughout the Church.
