It is our desire that each Empowered Youth Conference convey a fun-filled and exciting atmosphere while at the same time one that is holy and Christ-honoring.  We ask that you help us to protect a godly atmosphere by carefully abiding by the following guidelines of appearance and conduct.

The standards we have are Biblically based and will be upheld by all attendees and visitors. Knowing these policies beforehand and following these rules while at Empowered Youth will help you to have a more enjoyable visit. Please read them carefully.
