ALIGN NEXTGEN CONFERENCE 2023

Align NextGen Conference is about taking time out of our schedules and coming together as youth pastors/leaders of Ohio. We want Align to be encouraging by connecting with others, refreshing with times of ministry, and equipping with practical tools to apply in youth ministry. This year we are expanding this one day conference to include Kid’s and NextGen pastors to further the relationship of NextGen ministries.

Sessions with National NextGen Missions Director Eric Hoffman, Youth Alive Missionary Matt Clark, and KidMin Director Meghan Boyle free gift bag, breakouts, lunch, and an optional dinner concluding the conference.

You don't want to miss this fantastic time of connecting with each other! We also want to encourage you to bring any youth staff you may have as well!

SPEAKERS

 

ERIC HOFFMAN

Eric Hoffman was appointed to serve as director for Speed the Light in January 2018.
 
In the three years Hoffman served as district youth director (DYD) for Illinois, giving to Speed the Light increased by more than $300,000. Prior to serving as DYD, he was youth pastor at Abundant Life in Alton, Illinois — one of the Top 20 Giving Churches for Speed the Light during his tenure.
 
“Eric and Liz have a strong record of cultivating generosity and a passion for missions,” says General Superintendent Doug Clay.
 
Eric and his wife, Liz, have three children.

MEGHAN BOYLE

Meghan felt like she would teach and lead since she was young. On a missions trip while in middle school, God spoke to her about her willingness to say yes to the call of God on her life in ministry. Soon after this trip, she began serving in her local church in kids ministry and hasn’t stopped since. In 2006, Meghan graduated with a degree in Children’s Ministry and Bible from the University of Valley Forge. She is ordained with the Assemblies of God and has been part of church planting, bi-vocational ministry at a church revitalization as well as serving full time at 3 different churches. The last role she was in was as a missions, outreach and kids pastor. January 2022, Meghan took the role of OKM Director and cannot wait to see kids impacted as we identify and train, care and coach then multiply and mobilize leaders in our churches across Ohio. Together, we will see Ohio for Jesus!

MATT CLARK

Matt and Lizz Clark have been actively involved in Youth Ministry in Ohio since 2014. In May 2014, Matt graduated from Central Bible College with a degree in Youth Ministry and hit the ground running.

Matt and Lizz are passionate about seeing teenagers grow in their relationship with God and work to empower them to reach their schools, churches, and community. They now live in Columbus as Ohio’s Youth Alive Missionaries. Outside of ministry, they love doing life with their daughters Addison & Rylee and their son Peyton.
