Overflow is a two-day youth conference for middle school and high school students, centered on the hope found in Jesus Christ. Inspired by Romans 15:13

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

The Overflow Youth Conference exists to refresh, equip, and send students back into their schools and communities with renewed faith and purpose. Students from across the region will gather for worship, teaching, community and service, with the goal of helping them grow deeper in their faith and live out the love of Jesus in practical ways.

We’re excited to welcome Lindsay Johnson, Dean of Students at Southwest Christian School in Chaska, Minnesota. Lindsay is passionate about guiding students into deeper relationship with Christ. We’re confident that her teaching will challenge, inspire and encourage students in their faith.
