Welcome to Check-Point Conference 23 - an inspiring Christian event aimed at young males between the ages of 12 to 21 and their significant male mentors.

Check-Point Conference 23 is a unique gathering designed to empower and educate the next generation of young men through a Christian perspective. This exciting event focuses on fostering understanding and personal growth, and a deeper understanding of Christian values as young men.

Both men and boys who attend, will gain valuable Biblical insight to help build and guide towards a purposeful and faith-driven future.

This event is tailored for young males aged 12 to 21 years, who are eager to explore their faith and learn about the intersection of Christian values with various aspects of life. We encourage boys within this age group to embrace their potential and equip them with essential life skills grounded in their faith.

Recognizing the importance of positive male role models within a Christian context, we invite significant adult males who are looked up to by these young boys to attend the conference as their mentors. This mentorship program aims to build a supportive environment where biblical wisdom and experiences can be shared, fostering personal growth and spiritual development.

Engaging Workshops: Interactive workshops led by experienced professionals will provide hands-on learning experiences, promoting personal development, and strengthening participants' faith.
Guest Speakers will share their faith stories, inspiring participants to deepen their relationship with God and live out their Christian values as men on Purpose.
Attendees will have the chance to connect with like-minded peers and other potential mentors, establishing valuable relationships based on shared faith and values.
A showcase of creative projects and initiatives that align with Christian principles will stimulate participants' creativity and innovation.
Special activities will be organized to strengthen the bond between the boys and their mentors, fostering spiritual growth and lasting connections.

Join us at Check-Point Conference 23, where personal growth and faith come together to shape a brighter future for the young Christian male generation. Together, we'll navigate the journey towards a purposeful life, grounded in our faith, and make a positive impact on the world for the glory of God.
