The Southwest Youth Conference has gathered the next generation for twenty-six years to ignite faith, stir courage, and call a people to stand. This year, under the banner of Hope For America, we return to the convictions of those who founded a nation and dare to believe that God is not finished with this land.
Hosted by Parkside Baptist Church in Mesquite, Texas, SWYC 2026 calls youth to own that story, carry that torch, and rise in their generation. Team Washington and Team Jefferson will compete across four days of services, competitions, and activities.
Secure Your SeatGrounded in the Word, built on the Rock, anchored in covenant.
The liberty for which patriots bled is the liberty Christ purchased.
A generation who will not abandon what they have been entrusted.
