Rocknations is the young people's ministry of Life Church UK in Bradford, England, Belfast, Northern Ireland and Warsaw, Poland.[1] Weekly meetings are held for teenagers and young adults. Rocknations is also the name of the church's annual youth conference, held in August each year.
Rocknations conference
The first Rocknations conference, for young people and their leaders, was held by Steve Gambill in 2001, with about 70 delegates. It has since grown to be one of the biggest Christian youth conferences in Europe, with attendance figures in excess of 2,000.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The conference continues to be an annual event on the LIFE Church UK Calendar and has been hosted in most recent years by David and Abigail Niblock and I AM FUTURE, the church's youth band. The conference features a mix of in-house and visiting speakers, live bands and various activities to keep delegates occupied. Activities usually include a skate park, football competitions, a game-zone, seminars and dance and music workshops.
Speakers have included Reinhard Bonnke, Joel Houston, Peter & Laura Toggs, Chad Veach, Andre Lesur, Mal Fletcher,[2] Phil Dooley,[1] Matthew Barnett, Ed Young[3] and Carl Lentz.[4] Visiting bands have included Switchfoot, Tree63, The Gentlemen,[5] Gungor, Guvna B,[4] Parachute Band and Hillsong United.[6]
In past years, conference delegates have been given the opportunity to spend time in deprived areas of Bradford, helping with the church's social justice projects.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
