Winter CONFERENCE 2024
a better story: love, sex, & sexuality in a hope-filled world
FEBRUARY 9 - 11 | Rockbridge
about the theme
You are invited to join other college students from schools throughout western Virginia for a weekend of fun, learning, worship, and community. Winter Conference takes place at Rockbridge Young Life camp near Lexington, Virginia. This is a great place to get outside for a hike, play any number of games and sports, climb on a ropes course, or cozy up with hot cocoa and board games.
This year, Aubrey Spears, Rector of Church of the Incarnation in Harrisonburg, will be leading us as we faithfully engage with questions about love and sex. Aubrey will share about a “Better Story” than some of those we may have heard. It is our hope that any student would feel welcome to attend.
