BYFAITH Young Adults Conference

Join us for By Faith 2026, a one-day conference designed to strengthen your walk with Jesus through gospel-centered teaching, rich fellowship, and practical workshops.

BY FAITH – Rejoice Always: Faithful Living in Christ
January 24th | 8:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Heritage Theological Seminary

Our joy does not rest on what we do for God but on what Christ has done for us. In him we have a living hope, and through the Spirit we are strengthened to live each day in faith and obedience. This is why Paul can command us to ‘rejoice always’ (1 Thessalonians 5:16).”

In a world filled with pressure, uncertainty, and distraction, God calls this generation to live with unshakable joy, fearless courage, and relentless passion for Jesus. Join us for Rejoice Always: Faithful Living in Christ, a conference for young adults, where we’ll explore how the gospel gives lasting joy and shapes our daily walk with Jesus.

Rooted in the timeless truths of Philippians and 1 Thessalonians, this one-day event will feature passionate worship, gospel-centered teaching, practical workshops, rich fellowship, and a shared meal—all designed to encourage joyful perseverance, sacrificial service, and deeper faith. This is a day to encounter God, strengthen your walk with Christ, and be equipped to advance the gospel with joy that cannot be shaken.

Pre-Conference Discernment Discussion –
January 23rd | 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Heritage Theological Seminary

Are you prayerfully exploring a call to full-time ministry? Join us Friday night, January 23rd, for an evening designed to guide and inspire both men and women as they consider their role in ministry. The evening will begin with a brief devotional.

For men, the devotional will be followed by an open, honest panel discussion on discerning God’s direction for your life in pastoral ministry. Whether this is your first step or part of a second career, or you are training men for ministry, come ready for meaningful conversation, prayer, and practical insight—leave encouraged, challenged, and equipped to take the next step. Pastors Kesavan Balasingham, Dwayne Cline, Jonathan Griffiths, Dan MacDonald, George Sinclair, and Robbie Symons will lead this session.

At the same time, a parallel session will be held for women considering how God may be calling them to serve in ministry. This session will offer space for thoughtful teaching, discussion, and encouragement as women seek to faithfully discern and embrace their unique role in Christ’s mission. Deanna Spoelstra and Stephanie Kish will lead this session.

Although this gathering takes place the evening prior to the TGCC/Heritage Young Adult event, all men and women considering ministry—or those training and supporting them—are warmly invited to join us.

Please note: if you are interested in attending our pre-conference event, you will be required to select a pre-conference event ticket in addition to your main event ticket.
