Less is more

The Next Gen Team have decided to not hold our usual Leadership Development Weekend, More Conference, for 2025.

Amidst the financial pressures and the busyness of the year, we believe the best way we can support leaders is to ease their burden and engage in a more accessible way this year.

We remain committed to showing up in Te Waipounamu, the South Island and will be moving forward with MORE Conference in 2026, in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

In lieu of the conference this year, we are planning five local free events named Less is More - offering a time of whakawhanaungatanga connection, encouragement and inspiration.

Our hope is that local events will engage leaders for whom a weekend away is too difficult – on behalf of age, family commitments, or financial ability. This grants us the opportunity to show up where the ministry is happening!

These events are open for all leaders who work with young people!

We’d love to have you!

Registration for these events closes on Friday 13th June

Please encourage all your leaders to come and spend some time in fellowship.

We can’t wait to see you!

TOGETHER AT CONGRESS

Big things are happening in 2025! Instead of separate Youth Camps across Aotearoa New Zealand, we’re bringing EVERYONE TOGETHER for Youth Together AT Congress—and trust us, you do not want to miss this!

Young people from Aotearoa New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa—all in one place for one EPIC weekend! Get ready for powerful moments, next-level fun, and a community like no other.

We’ll be diving into all the incredible Congress events, joining with the wider Salvation Army whānau for worship, teaching, connection, and fun! If you loved Amplify, this is even bigger—an opportunity to connect, grow, and celebrate what God is doing among us.

Plus, we’re stepping it up with our very own Youth Accommodation—a space designed just for us! And the best part? The cost is only $70 per person! Check out the website (congress2025.org.nz) to see what’s included and start planning and fundraising today!

We know this is a big trip for our South Island Waipounamu crew, so we’re offering travel subsidies to help make it happen. More details will be available when registrations open soon!

This is for High School (Years 9–13), school leavers up to age 20, and their youth leaders. Plus, there will be an opportunity for Young Adults (21–25) to apply for any available beds in the Youth Accommodation—so if you’re keen, stay tuned for more info!

If you’re in, get ready—registrations open mid March! Keep an eye on the Congress website (congress2025.org.nz) and your emails for all the details.

If you have any questions, please contact us at nextgen@salvationarmy.org.nz.

SEE YOU THERE! 🚀🔥
