Boys to Men Empowerment Conference
The Boys to Men Empowerment Conference is an annual, transformative experience designed to help boys and young men grow into confident, responsible, and faith-filled leaders. Now in its 4th year, the conference brings together churches, community organizations, parents, mentors, and youth leaders with a shared commitment to developing the whole man spiritually, mentally, physically, and economically.
Hosted in collaboration with trusted faith and community partners, this one-day experience provides a safe, engaging environment where young men are encouraged to discover their purpose, strengthen their faith, build discipline, and envision a successful future.
This is more than a conference, it is an investment in manhood.
Why This Conference Matters
Today’s young men face growing challenges such as social pressure, identity struggles, economic uncertainty, and limited access to positive male mentorship. The Boys to Men Empowerment Conference responds with intentional, faith-based programming that builds character, confidence, and leadership.
Through a holistic approach to manhood, youth are supported spiritually, mentally, physically, and economically. Participants are surrounded by positive role models, engaged in age-appropriate learning, encouraged to grow in faith and responsibility, and exposed to career pathways, financial literacy, and future-focused opportunities. Brotherhood is strengthened through shared experiences, teamwork, and fellowship.
Youth groups and families benefit from a well-structured, one-day experience that combines spiritual formation, leadership development, and community connection.
