What is the Festival of Young Preachers?

The Festival of Young Preachers is an ecumenical, one-of-a-kind event designed to showcase and encourage young people who aspire to be preachers of the Gospel. The Academy of Preacher’s mission is to identify these young people while cultivating within them the conviction that Gospel preaching is a vocation of great social and spiritual significance and is worthy of their very best.

The Festival of Young Preachers is not a competition. It is a celebration, an inspiration, an occasion of mutual edification and encouragement.

In addition to the National Festival of Young Preachers, the Academy of Preachers offers opportunities for institutions, organizations, and denominations to host Festivals of Young Preachers. A “Festival in a Box” (a toolkit designed to walk you through every aspect of planning such an event) is now available to anyone interested in hosting such as event.  To learn more about hosting a Campus Festival, click here.
