The highlight of summer for students and the churches who love them
Every RYM Conference is designed to serve the local church by creating a space for students to encounter God’s Word, enjoy meaningful fellowship, and build memories that last a lifetime—all while leaders can focus on discipleship without the stress of planning every detail.

How we serve the Church
Our Heart
At RYM, everything we do flows from the gospel of Jesus Christ. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). We are passionate about serving the Church in its calling to reach and equip youth for Christ, and this is the heartbeat behind our summer youth conferences.
Our Goal
Each summer, we host conferences that are God-centered, Word-driven, and Gospel-focused. Our goal is simple: to provide local churches a space to gather for worship, fellowship, and fun. Throughout the week, students are encouraged and challenged by God’s Word, strengthened in their faith, and knit closer together as the body of Christ.
Our Distinctives
What makes RYM unique? We prioritize Scripture-forward teaching aimed at the heart—in nightly worship, elective seminars, small groups, and personal devotions. Churches bring their youth groups, and once on site, students are housed together with their church while also meeting peers from across the country through electives, activities, and recreation.
