What is STS Conference?

Our annual Strength to Stand Conferences are winter retreat opportunities for students to encounter Jesus through energetic worship and passionate teaching while enjoying a fun-filled time in the Smokey Mountains.

Conference includes four worship sessions featuring worship and preaching — two night sessions and two morning sessions. Both evening sessions are followed by concerts from some of the most popular Christian music and worship artists today. STS Conference seeks to reach the next generation through a relevant, relatable experience while maintaining the heartbeat of our ministry the depth and substance of the life-changing message of Jesus.

Each year, we host two weekend Conference opportunities: the end of December and Martin Luther King Weekend in January. Lineups between the weekends vary some. However, you have the freedom to choose which timeframe works for best for your student ministry!
