SMYM Youth Convention is the one time during the year when students and leaders from across the Southern Missouri Ministry Network come together under one roof to celebrate Jesus!
Students join hundreds of their peers to worship, hear powerful, Spirit-led messages, spend time at the altar, and experience life-changing moments in God’s presence. It’s a weekend packed with community, fun, and encounters with Jesus that students will remember forever!

NEW REGISTRATION PROCESS
This year, Youth Convention is moving to a similar setup as Youth Camp and Fine Arts to make registration smoother and easier for everyone!
Here’s how it works:
Your church will register to receive a unique Church Registration Link.
Once your group is registered, you’ll receive a custom link and password for your church.Share the link with parents and leaders.
This link allows them to register their own students and adult leaders directly.Track your numbers in real time.
Just like with Youth Camp and Fine Arts, your church link lets you view registrations as they come in so you always know who’s signed up.
This new process gives churches, parents, and leaders a smoother experience—no more spreadsheets, form transfers, or manual headcounts. Everything flows straight into your church dashboard!
Jackson Sandefer
North Texas Youth Ministries
Youth Alive Director
Jackson, in his heart of hearts, is a revivalist. He has witnessed moments of revival within youth ministry and on the campus, but is believing for the fullness of it across North Texas. He is a campus missionary to sports teams, lunch rooms, and has helped plant Bible clubs in one of the largest high schools in America. Through his ministry, Jackson has seen unchurched students saved, baptized, and healed! Our schools are the spiritual battleground of the nation, “If we lose there, we lose everywhere else.” His desire is to train, develop, and send out youth pastors who’s hearts would be broken for the campus, so revival would invade schools in every community through the church!
