2025 Conference Theme

This year’s theme is rooted in the words of Jesus from John 9:4–5: “We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” As Good News Club workers, we are united in a calling to reach the next generation with the good news of the gospel. This work is not just important—it is urgent. The window of opportunity is limited, and Scripture reminds us that “night is coming.” We are called to labor faithfully and urgently, making the most of the time we have to evangelize and disciple children for Christ—while it is still day.

All Good News Club workers (new volunteers, returning volunteers, and coordinators) are invited and highly encouraged to attend our Good News Conference. We offer training at every level, so we hope that everyone will learn something new and leave feeling equipped for the year ahead!

At Good News Conference, our primary goal is to provide quality training for our Good News Club workers. We also hope and pray that this conference strengthens godly relationships among likeminded individuals who share a passion for reaching the next generation with the gospel.
