IMPACT Conference Expected to Draw 3,000

Approximately 3,000 high school students, parents and youth group leaders are expected to attend this weekend’s Metro- Maryland Youth For Christ IMPACT High School Conference at the Ocean City convention center, where they will participate in a variety of seminars, workshops, concerts, exhibits and prayer.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Connect.”

“No theme is more relevant to kids than ‘connect,’” said Metro-Maryland Youth For Christ Executive Director Robert Arnold. “Facebook, Twitter … every possible way they are trying to connect with friends and family.”

The three-day conference will feature regional and national entertainers, including musical acts Disciple, Tenth Avenue North, Ascend the Hill and artist KJ-52.
