KAIROS YOUTH CONFERENCE
KAIROS
KAIROS is a conference specially designed for students (grades 7-12) and youth leaders to experience the presence of the living God in a way they never have before. Participants can expect two days of dynamic & engaging worship, powerful messages, breakout sessions with their peers (as well as one specifically for leaders), and space dedicated to letting God work however He sees fit.
The word "KAIROS" describes a time when conditions are right to take action or make a critical change. We have seen God use this conference time and time again as "the time when the conditions are right" for students to take action and pursue the Lord in a deeper and more real way.
HISTORY
In 2015, Jayson Barton was pastoring a student ministry in NC when he felt the Lord shift them to take their students beyond the yearly camp experience and into something deeper and more continuous. "What if we could help students hear the voice of God, to retune their senses." Our team, alongside Jayson, gave the Lord our "yes" and launched the White Noise Youth Conference.
Each year since the Lord has been faithful to match our obedience with signs and wonders. In 2021, our core team felt the Lord moving us in a new direction that would require opening our hands and offering things to Him in order to see them flourish in a new way. So, at the end of our 2022 conference, we announced that we were closing the chapter on White Noise and are starting a new one: KAIROS. With a new brand comes a new message for a new generation of students.

Fruit
We are willing to risk everything to create a place for the presence of God. All of our plans, programs, systems, and structures are all subject to change so Holy Spirit can do what He wants to do.
We believe there is power in intentionality. We don't want to accidentally stumble into the presence of God, we want to go there on purpose. To prepare for this, we cover the atmosphere with prayer, and care for the space we are ministering in by listening to the Spirit and working to be good stewards of the moments we are given.
We have never chased numbers just to fill a room. Every year, we pray for the right people to be in attendance and for the Lord to call forth who He wants to meet with. Over the past 7 conferences we have seen close to 800 people (students & leaders) experience White Noise (now KAIROS) and every year God has been faithful to do exactly what He says He will do and always more.

FINANCE & LOGISTICS
Since the beginning, we have maintained a low ticket price point for students and leaders. We believe that this event needs to remain affordable; the last reason we'd want anyone to say they couldn't make it to KAIROS was because of the price.
Every conference since 2020 has been paid for solely through ticket sales, merchandise sales, and the generosity of some amazing people who believe in what God has called us to do. For us, financial stewardship is making sure that all the proceeds made and all the generous donations given are seeds sown back into the teams that volunteer, and into the next year of conferences.
*Please note: we aim to serve your church as best we can! Each KAIROS is our chance to partner with churches to see the Lord do a mighty work. The logistics will be discussed in greater detail to ensure healthy standards and care are prioritized for both parties: KAIROS and for host churches. We want to do this well and honor the house.
KAIROS YOUTH CONFERENCE
We are honored to partner with you and your students to help them take the next step: to go deeper, to know Jesus more, and to hear His voice more clearly.
