What is Strength to Stand?
Strength to Stand is not just another conference; it’s a life-changing initiative designed for students who are eager to deepen their faith and strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ. For nearly 40 years, the Scott Dawson Evangelistic Association has created a vibrant environment where students can experience salvation, engage in worship, and commit to a life of discipleship.
Each year, the conference draws hundreds of churches from across the Southeast, bringing together a community of young believers eager to grow in their faith and connect with one another.
Exciting Lineup of Worship Leaders and Speakers
This year, we have an incredible lineup of speakers and worship leaders ready to guide and inspire participants:
Charity Gayle will lead powerful worship, bringing her unique sound and deep love for God. Alongside her husband, Ryan Kennedy, she’s cultivating a movement of prayer and worship that is impacting lives across the globe.
We also have KB, a Dove Award-winning rapper known for his chart-topping songs and cultural impact, who will be featured late-night, promising an explosive evening of music and inspiration.
In addition, speakers such as Preston Perry, Scott Dawson, Noah Herrin, Brian Mills, and Tom Richter will be sharing messages that challenge, inspire, and motivate students to stand boldly for their faith in today’s world.
