The Stand has been successful due to the large amount of youth leaders who commit to bring their youth groups every year. Created with the purpose of bringing all denominations of youth leaders and groups together, The Stand provides an opportunity for area students to gather to join in worship and in purpose. The Stand creates an atmosphere where students can identify other Christians from their churches, schools, area, etc. in order to join in supporting one another in their stand for Jesus Christ. The Stand is not a replacement or substitute for a student group, but rather a tool for youth leaders to use to encourage and enhance their student programs. We are very thankful and humbled by the participation of the thousands of students that are brought each year to The Stand by their student leaders. Thank you for your encouragement and your participation in this annual event.
