The keynote speaker is Pastor Kelvin Kublall, currently serving as the Bible teacher at the Crawford Adventist Academy in Toronto, ON, along with other guests and presenters for the weekend.
Registration is currently open for you and your young people. If you have teens, collegiate youth, or young adults (ages 13-35+) in your church or on your public campus, please have them register at the following link: https://forms.gle/uH2g5dGY1cLLrb5M8
