2023 Theme Details

True AND Good
Can Christianity Be Both?

Christianity claims to be true and good.

But sometimes following Jesus doesn’t always seem to be good.

If there are many other ways to live in our world, how can I trust that the way of Jesus good and true?

And if I do follow Jesus, how can my friends see his truth and goodness in my life?

At Onward 2023, we will:

Engage with the goodness of following Jesus

Empower you to know that following Jesus is good; and

Empower you to show your friends that Christianity is both true and good.

What is Onward Youth?

Onward Youth is a one-night event that helps high schoolers make sense of the culture and world around them with a gospel-lens, and equips them to stand firm for their faith.

I had my eyes lifted to Jesus and I was encouraged to persevere through the challenges of life, relying on Jesus.

Meet the Onward Committee

I’m so excited to introduce you to our new committee members for Onward Youth Conference, I know that they will bring so many new ideas and wisdom as we prepare for the 23rd of June! We’ve already had a few meals of Charcoal Chicken and garlic sauce together (and hopefully many more!).  

Onward Youth Conference helps kids (and parents) navigate tough questions.

I’m hitting the parenting danger zone. My eldest son is nearly 12. He’s started youth group and goes to a Christian school. But he’s meeting more people, accessing more information online and watching the news. He is moving outside of our ‘safe bubble’ and being hit square in the face with issues that he needs to understand and form an opinion about.

Strangers in a Strange World

You’re excited. You’ve spent the whole week working on this costume for this party. It’s going to be so sik. You ring the door bell, imagining the faces of your friends when they see you in the gear. The door opens and you’re greeted with shock, which turns embarrassingly into a snort and a snigger. It wasn’t a costume party, and you’re the only one dressed up. Sticking out like a sore thumb. Being a Christian can feel like being the odd one out in your friendship circles.

2022 Theme

Doesn’t Christianity
crush diversity?

Sometimes Christianity is seen as restricting or harmful by favouring some types of people and excluding others. What about women?  What about the LGBTQ community? What about people who are vulnerable? This is such an important topic to get right, and one we can’t ignore.

2022 Speakers

More than a Conference…

Onward Deep Dive

We know that tackling tricky topics takes more than a one-night event and a selection of speakers. Wading through cultural topics sometimes takes time, slowness, and deep thinking.

We want youths and youth groups to engage, equip and be empowered to be Christians well beyond the conference event. That is why Onward Youth has an online component called Onward Deep Dive.
