Interactive Keynote: Ministry in an age of power
Saturday November 21, 2026 11:45am - 1:00pm GMT
Vox Main Venue
This year as NYMW we're looking together at the theme of power.

It's a vital concept for us to wrestle with as ministers, theologians and citizens of a world dominated by examples of its use and misuse.

In this session, one of the world's leading youth ministry thinkers will help us to think about the role and impact of power on our young people, our churches and communities, and give us a healthy and subversive framework for what we might teach, and how we might engage with the greatest power of all.

It's been over three years since the substantiated allegations against Soul Survivor founder Mike Pilavachi were first announced.
