Bible Conference 2026 is set to take place from August 9 to 15, bringing together Salvationists from the Southern Territory in Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. The event will feature biblical teaching, spiritual growth, worship, and fellowship, continuing a tradition that has spanned nearly 75 years. This annual gathering aims to keep Salvationist leaders and members rooted in scripture, reinforcing their commitment to service within their communities.
The conference includes specialized programs for children and young adults, recognizing them as both current members and future leaders of The Salvation Army. Annual Youth Conference and Childcare programs, held alongside the main event, focus on laying a biblical foundation for attendees aged 0 to 17. These programs emphasize spiritual growth, community, and fun, with this year’s theme centered on equipping the next generation to lead with steadfast faith.
The event will conclude on August 15 with an annual youth showcase, highlighting the achievements and experiences of participants. Major Matt Satterlee, territorial youth secretary, expressed enthusiasm for the conference, noting its value as a time of intentional discipleship and growth in holiness for young people. He emphasized the importance of leading children and young adults to Jesus, fostering a radical faith while maintaining a spirit of community and belonging.
In addition to youth-focused activities, the conference will offer events for young adults aged 18 to 35. These sessions will provide a more intimate setting for deeper engagement with the Word and opportunities to build relationships with peers from across the territory. The programs reflect The Salvation Army’s commitment to nurturing spiritual development at all life stages.
