THE GREAT NORTHWEST FIELD YOUTH CONFERENCE 2025
May 23 - May 26
Make your plans now to attend the Great Northwest Field Youth Conference in May 2025!
Hosted on the campus of Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho, the GREAT will be a gathering of students from across the Northwest Field engaging in worship, fellowship and discipleship as we all join together as one Church to pursue Jesus together! This youth conference for our entire Northwest Field will be a mini-NYC, but with our own Great Northwest feel. Inspiring speakers, deep worship experiences and awesome fun are the cornerstones of the weekend. We also will have the campus of Northwest Nazarene University all to ourselves!
The Great is excited to welcome Coltin Brink, as our guest speaker! Coltin Brink is a Youth and Young Adults Pastor and a member of the teaching team at Montrose Church in Montrose, California, originally from Denver, Colorado. With a heart for guiding young people to encounter Christ, Coltin believes that the youth are not the Church of tomorrow, but the Church of today. Holding a BA in Youth and Christian Ministry and a MA in Spiritual Formation from Northwest Nazarene University, Coltin is deeply committed to shaping the spiritual lives of people, helping them grow in faith, and equipping them to make an impact. Coltin is married to Shayli, and they are the proud parents of a sixteen-month-old daughter, with another daughter on the way. When he’s not leading a ministry or spending time with his family, you can find him cheering on his favorite Colorado sports teams or enjoying a burrito. We are thrilled to welcome Coltin as our speaker!
The GREAT will take place May 23-26. Event check in and move-in will begin on Friday night, May 23, kicking us off for an amazing three-day event. Registration, meals, lodging, giveaways and activities while on NNU’s campus are included in the cost of the event.
Registration can be completed as groups or separately so let us know as soon as possible that you are planning to be there! Registration at the regular rate closes on Friday, April 15.
Our Northwest Field Quizzing competition will also be happening as a part of this conference, and we can’t wait to celebrate and cheer for our amazing Northwest Field Quizzers as a part of this conference!
See you soon at the GREAT Northwest Field Youth Conference 2025!
Registration for this event is $150.
