We are excited to invite you to the 2025 SCO National Conference.

Embracing The New, Leaving The Past Behind

Step away from the noise and into the mountains of Magaliesburg for a life-changing weekend designed for students seeking renewal, purpose, and deeper faith.

What makes the National Student Ministry Conference truly special compared to other events is its unique combination of spiritual depth, nationwide community, and life-changing encounter — all in one focused weekend.

Here’s what sets it apart:

This isn't just a local youth camp — it's a gathering of students from across the country, creating a powerful sense of unity, shared vision, and Kingdom momentum.
With students, leaders, and speakers coming from various regions, cultures, and backgrounds, the conference reflects the richness of the body of Christ — all centred on one clear theme: Embracing the New.
Every session is intentionally crafted for deep spiritual impact — powerful worship, relevant teaching, authentic encounters with God, and space for personal reflection and ministry.
Held in a scenic, nature-filled retreat space just outside the city, it offers the perfect environment to step away from distractions and truly engage with God.

The friendships, mentorship moments, and shared experiences go far beyond the weekend — they spark discipleship, encouragement, and growth that continues long after the final session.
