Lead Worship at Pilgrimage

Share Your Story

Youth leadership is central to Pilgrimage. The NC Conference Committee on Youth Ministries defines the direction of each annual event. Youth leaders of the Conference participate in the event planning process, as well as serve as worship leaders during the Pilgrimage weekend.

What It Means to Share Your Story

Youth stories are continuously regarded as the best part of General Sessions. Do you have a faith story to share that will encourage others as they engage with the Theme?

All youth have a story to tell — you are invited to share yours!
Deadline: September 21, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. ET
