Make plans today to attend HYPE in Cleveland, Tennessee, from May 2nd through May 4th. This will be a time of teaching, preaching, worship, and fellowship with fellow Victory Leaders.
This year’s HYPE will feature twelve elective-styled classes. This rally will offer a variety of practical classes, such as how to be a more effective musician, Altar worker, or children’s ministry worker, alongside doctrinal classes designed to establish our youth in biblical teachings such as the One Fold, Gold for Ornament, the sin of Divorce and Remarriage, and more. With a variety of classes to choose from, there is something for everyone, allowing every young person to decide which class best fits their needs.

Many have asked, “Do you have to be a VLB to attend?” The rally’s goal is to meet the needs of our youth and will thus be tailored to their age range. However, we will also provide classes for gleaners as well as those over 35. All ages are welcome in our worship services and in our Q&A audience. If you have small children, we will have something for them, so please come!
