Upcoming Events

Divisional Youth Retreat - April 10 - 12 2026

We are excited to announce that registration is now open for DYR 2025 – “Beyond Labels.” We are prayerfully anticipating a powerful weekend of worship, teaching, connection, and spiritual growth for our young people.

New This Year: Digital Registration Roster

This year, registration will be managed through a web-based digital roster for each corps. So, if you want to attend, you must still inform your Corps Officer, Major Ann, so that she can add you to the roster.

Parents/guardians are still required to complete the physical registration form attached, and delegates must bring the completed form with them to the event on the day of arrival.

The digital roster allows us to keep real-time visibility of who is attending and how many from each corps, which greatly helps us plan lodging, meals, activities, supplies, and teaching teams more effectively.

Please note:
👉 The registration cutoff date is March 30 at 12:00 PM (noon).
This deadline is necessary to finalize housing, meals, materials, and staffing. After the cutoff date the roster will be in view only mode.

Introducing: NextGen Leaders

We are thrilled to officially introduce our NextGen Leaders Program at DYR 2025.

NextGen Leaders is designed for young adults ages 18–25 who are already serving, or showing clear steps toward leadership, within their corps. This program is an intentional investment in discipleship and leadership development while also allowing participants to serve alongside our Youth Department throughout the weekend.

NextGen Leaders will:
Participate fully in all main sessions and activities.
Serve in practical leadership roles throughout the weekend.
Take part in dedicated leadership and discipleship workshops.
Be paired with mentors for guidance, encouragement, and growth.

We encourage officers to prayerfully identify and send young adults who would benefit from this opportunity to grow as leaders while serving the next generation.

Registration Fees
Delegate & Chaperone Fee: $75 (of $150)
NextGen Leader Fee: $50 (or $100)

While NextGen Leaders will be serving in meaningful ways throughout the weekend, they will also be receiving intentional discipleship and leadership training. In light of this dual role, we are offering them a discounted rate.

NOTE: Young people in the Divisional Youth Music sections will be participating this weekend, too.
