NYI Convention

Convention is a time to gather in worship and fellowship, and to conduct some important business like electing leaders for the district NYI council.

Dr. Montague Williams, breakout workshops, and lunch provided with the time to connect with others across the District. Childcare will be provided for $10, please indicate in your registration.

NYI Charter – District Ministry Plan IV, Section 3 – District NYI Convention: 

  • All local NYI delegates to the District NYI Convention must be members of the Church of the Nazarene that they represent. 
  • The number of local NYI delegates for each church is determined by the membership figures on the most recent local Pastor’s Report prior to the District Assembly. 
  • The local NYI delegation to the District NYI Convention for churches consists of: 
  • The pastor and youth pastor or any full-time paid pastoral staff who participate in NYI ministry;
  • The newly-elected local NYI President;
  • Up to four elected delegates, with at least half being within the district-established NYI ministry focus; 
  • Local churches may add an additional delegate for each successive 30 local NYI members and/or final major part of those 30 members (i.e., 16-29 members). At least half of any additional delegates must be also within the district-established NYI ministry focus.
