Clayton King
Evangelist and Founder of Crossroads Worldwide – Clayton is our YEC Friday keynote speaker. If you were at YEC 2009, you saw what God did after Clayton preached the Gospel message. With no invitation music and arena house lights at full capacity, hundreds of students stood to their feet and yelled out "Jesus is Lord" as a testimony that they were responding to the Gospel and committing to follow Jesus Christ for salvation.

Sean McDowell
Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for reaching the younger generation with the Gospel message. He connects with youth in a tangible way through humor and stories while imparting hard evidence and logical support for viewing all areas of life through a Biblical worldview. Sean equips students to understand how to defend their faith. Oh yeah… FYI, his dad is Josh McDowell.

Starfield
Canadian worship band, Starfield, has spent the last 10 years partnering with churches and ministries, leading students and congregations in passionate and energetic worship. They've released four albums on Sparrow Records (also home to Chris Tomlin and TobyMac), most recently "The Saving One" in 2010. Starfield-penned songs like "Filled With Your Glory", "Son of God", and "Reign In Us" are sung in church services every weekend all over the world. Starfield is the most-awarded and top-selling Christian band in Canada, and are expanding that following in the US, United Kingdom, and Europe with yearly concert tours and conference appearances.

The Skit Guys
All time Tennessee YEC favorite! Tommy Woodard and Eddie James are simply the best at what they do! If this is your first time to see The Skit Guys, get ready to bust a gut! They really are that funny. Then, just when you think you can't laugh any harder, their humor turns into a powerful message with profound and eternal implications. We can't wait to see Tommy and Eddie this March at YEC.

Jon Tyner
Hey East Tennessee, many of you know Jon as worship leader at Sevier Heights Baptist Church. We've invited Jon to bring his band and head to Nashville to lead our worship on Saturday. And by the way, he is also leading one of the craziest things YEC has ever attempted! Imagine flash mob collides with 1000 teenagers who sing! If this works, it's gonna be EPIC!

FRIDAY
YEC offers two identical sessions since we all can't fit in the arena at the same time!
Depending on your travel time, pick the session of your preference.

Group B: 8:30 – 10:30 p.m.
Friday sessions are identical and include: Clayton King, The Skit Guys, Starfield
SATURDAY
Different lineup of people on the main stage but again, pick the time that is best for your group.
Group A: 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. or
Group B: 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.
The Saturday session is different than Friday night and includes: Sean McDowell, Jon Tyner, The Skit Guys

What ages are supposed to attend YEC?
YEC is for middle school and high school age teenagers. It is our recommendation that grade school age wait until 6th grade to begin attending YEC.
I am the youth leader and I can't find a baby sitter for the weekend, is it ok to bring my younger children to the conference?
Sure. We simply ask that if they become a distraction to others during the sessions that you move to the concourse hallway with your child. Also, admission is complimentary for infants through age five.
Which sessions will be less crowded so that we can sit closer to the stage?
The Friday 4:30 p.m. session and the Saturday 2:00 p.m. session are always less crowded.
What if I have additional students sign up after I register my group? Can I add them?
No problem. You can do that online until March 2nd. You can also buy more tickets at the door the day of the event.
I'm a little confused about these "identical sessions" at the arena. Help me understand?
Hereʼs the deal. The arena is not big enough for all of us to fi t in at the same time. So, our solution is to offer the Friday program twice. Once from 4:30- 6:30 and again from 8:30-10:30.
The program is exactly the same. Itʼs like those mega churches who offer multiple worship services on Sunday morning! Just pick the time that works for you! On Saturday, we do the same thing, but remember that the Saturday YEC line up is different from Friday!
Hereʼs what you do: pick one time to attend on Friday, then, pick another time to attend on Saturday. Just trust us on this.
If you are still confused, please give us a call.
We love to talk to YEC first-timers - Jennie Bowling will help you understand!
