Amazing Facts International is thrilled to present its fifth annual Amazing Facts Youth (AFY) Conference, June 11–14, 2025, at the Granite Bay Hilltop Church in Granite Bay, California. 

The theme for this year’s event is Vertical Vision: Learn to Look Up. The four-day conference is designed to help young people discover how to stay focused on Jesus, no matter how distracting life is. Attendees will learn essential strategies for riveting their attention on Christ so that they can “set [their] mind[s] on things above, not on things on earth” (Colossians 3:2). 

Speakers for the weekend include Doug Batchelor, Carlos Muñoz, Sebastian Braxton, David Shin, Dr. Eric Walsh, and Oceana Munsey. Along with their daily presentations, speakers will also participate in question-and-answer sessions. There will also be a special program for younger kids with Amazing Facts evangelist Daniel Hudgens.

Says Pastor Doug, “AFY is an amazing opportunity for our youth and young adults to have an inspirational infusion while learning how to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus, even when it seems like the world is falling apart. I know our 2025 youth conference will be a don’t-miss, faith-building experience. Are you a young person who wants to follow God all the way? Then join us for Vertical Vision and discover God’s perspective on your life.”

A Place for Everyone

AFY’s annual conferences are a chance to grow in faith while connecting with other young people who also want to know God. There are opportunities to make new friends, enjoy inspiring music, participate in outreach, and listen to powerful speakers. It’s an amazing opportunity to worship God and grow in faith. 

Along with its annual conference, AFY’s regular online meetings have been transformative for many young people. Kyle was struggling with his faith when he first started connecting with AFY’s weekly meetings. He shares today, “AFY has given me a spiritual home. It’s a place where I belong. Being involved has definitely changed me for the better.”

 “Whoever you are, wherever you come from, you are welcome in the AFY family,” says Edward, an AFY young adult leader. 

“You just gotta be a part of this movement!” adds Tony Scarpino, event coordinator.  

Each AFY session will be streamed on AFTV, Facebook, YouTube, and the www.afyouth.com website.
