I was there for this 21 years ago as this was my last National Youth Conference to attend. There were many things that happened at these conferences, but the opportunity to sing with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ is one thing I will always remember.
One thing about the church of Christ, we have THE BEST singing!! You get enough of us together, and throw songs around, even if you've never heard it before, you know it by the time it's over.
This brings back memories...this was michigan state campus...year 2000....its dope to see darwin...lee...and fate haygood...im a former mr congeniality and mr youth conference
I'm a white Church of Christ chick and I wish I would have been there. And you know what? I'm pretty sure my brothers and sisters in this video would have welcomed me to sing and worship OUR heavenly father with them.
I remember this I was there I had an amazing time and I actually saw a few glimpses of myself in the crowd as well as a few friends that I have kept in contact with over the years. Amazing job posting this brother John. Keep up the good work and God bless
This is such a good video. I wan't able to go to this one i was too young, but i did go to 2009 and 2010 and they were just amazing we didnt have this many people but i was fantastic.
What difference does it make if it's only blacks you see here? As long as they are worshiping and obeying the Word of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! I'm a church of Christ and white. I Love the Lord!
omg! this is truly amazing i remember this. it was my first and only NYC. i was 15 and had never seen anything like it. i'd love to go again. what is the ago cut off. lol. and i think it was either 99 or 2000.
There's nothing wrong with their praise. Who are we to tell anyone how to uplift Him. If this is how the Spirit moves them to rejoice in his word, then good for them. Psalm 150:3-6 says 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
@rdsweet I am with you brother...i also attend a one cup congregation and have had public discussions/debates with individuals who contend that one cup MUST be used....the point they will not understand and can't get past is if we (the body) are suppose to use one cup, then that would mean the whole church and all the congregations would have to come drink from the same cup every sunday!!! Or else that would be dividing the cup....
@skittlesj526 i was with you until you talked about the one-cup communion. There were no little plastic cups back in the day. i attend a multi cup congregation but there is nothing wrong with one cup.
Well, I am member of the church of Christ, and I think to die in the church of Christ, but I see that most churches of Christ (not all) are more concerned about what other churches do than what they themselves do.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
I do not know the answer to that. I went to the Texas State youth conference and we were very diverse. The Chuch I attend has a mixture of people. I think the COC needs to do a better job of promoting Christans not just one race. God bless you.
Nice division, consider I am a member of the Church of Christ. I will never believe what you say about the 5 parts of worship. I agree that we must worship with all our heart.
Lord I want a mansion, robe and a crown in glory. I think it goes peace, love will always abound forever. Please reserve my mansion. well blah blah blah. I like heaven's on the other side.
Please don't misquote the Bible. Before making such a comment one should always back it up with scripture. I hate when people take bits and pieces of the Bible and try to control others with it. If that's you belief you shouldn't do it and not try to force your misquoted/lack of comprehension of the Bible of others. I grew up among this when I was young. There was more focus on what one shouldn't be doing an less focus on what one should do(feeding the poor, sheltering the homeless, etc.
--God further said-- 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. -1st John Chapter 8 TheAngel . com / TheDevil . com
That is your opion and interpretation. Why don't you just not clap and stop being a spiritual police to everyone else. Retorical Question: Why is it that when someone win a material prize they can jump up and down, turn flips, scream and shout and there is nothing wrong with it, but when one show happiness and joy for God, the One that made all things possible, with a simple jesture of clapping the Spiritual Police gets to barking? There is something wrong with that picture.
--What blind cannot see WHAT JESUS has done-- for MILLENNIA, among true disciples? This is what rat bag atheists fight? Do Catholics sing like this? Do Muslims? Do atheists gather together with boundless common joy that cannot be restrained? Why won't the world admit the countless SOCIAL MIRACLES & charity Jesus has underwritten for 2,000 years? Jesus is God's Incarnation for mankind to see. I hear the demons revving up their gainsaying. Scripture has been expecting you. TheAngel . com
Now please, tell me why are there only black people? is it a question of racism? I praise God where I live racism is not an issue in the churches of Christ.
Because whites do not attend youth conferences with blacks. White churches attend their own conferences. If whites wanted to attend, they could no one was holding them back but themselves. I know because I attended a white church for years and they don't even fellowship with black congregations.
@snookumsweet it's not a conference jus fa blacks it's jus only blacks go.. I've never been to tht 1 bt we hav 1 in my state n if white ppl wntd to come thn they would. Bt all I got to say is dnt disrespect Tha Church of Christ makin us look lik all Tha black ppl in dis religion r racist jus no1 white came to tht 1 specific conference.
@timothydebra No shame on you for not seeing the seriousness in the church being on one accord. If Im preaching one thing and they go to the national conference and learn something different that is a problem and leads to confusion. Cause if clapping is ok cause they do it what else is ok. Let's put some hamhocks on the table.
The Christians sang, "Glory to God & his Son, The Christ." And the DEMONS retorted, "The crusades! Slavery! You Christians have a lot of explaining to do." And God made it clear: --He who does what is sinful is of the devil-- because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. -1st John Chapter 8 BlamingJesus . com / BanIslamNow . com
it don't sound accapella to me....if the you can strech skin over a cylinder and make a drum out of it and beat it...then whats the diffrence in beathing your hands togather...i would encourage you guys not to clap and sing...remember col 3:16 and Eph 5:19!!!!!
This is foolish!! If that's the case your voice is an instrument. There are plenty of things that are flapping together to make sound come from your mouth to make sound. If that's the case we shouldn't sing either. The Bible says make a joyful noise unto the Lord!!!

Just stumbled upon this. So great. Praise God
Beautiful. I look forward to harmonizing with them in Glory someday!
I'm a white Church of Christ chick and I wish I would have been there. And you know what? I'm pretty sure my brothers and sisters in this video would have welcomed me to sing and worship OUR heavenly father with them.
Yes ma'am!!!

I have to say I do miss the good ol day going to the conference!!
Our voices are the only instruments God gave us. They are, in my humble opinion, truly the most beautiful.
Wow!!! This brings back so many memories of those old youth conferences!!! Those were the good ol' days!!🥰💞
All thing's work out for the good of those who love the Lord who's called according to his purpose!
Amazing!
- Shenita.
Wow I miss those days.
I loved it! Thank you so much. I was touched by your devotion. Bless you!
What difference does it make if it's only blacks you see here? As long as they are worshiping and obeying the Word of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! I'm a church of Christ and white. I Love the Lord!

Great video
God loves all. Amen!!!
God bless you, brother. I am not white but very light in skin color, I praise God that where I live racism is not an issue.

They are not in formal worship service. They can praise the Lord in any way they want.
cant you get the 2009 conference it wuz good and i wuz there
@rdsweet I am with you brother...i also attend a one cup congregation and have had public discussions/debates with individuals who contend that one cup MUST be used....the point they will not understand and can't get past is if we (the body) are suppose to use one cup, then that would mean the whole church and all the congregations would have to come drink from the same cup every sunday!!!

sound good
There are 5 parts of worship. Read Eph 5:19. From the heart always in a Thanksgiving mindset.
nice
Oh, yeah, right. I want to consider that I am a member of the Church of Christ. Eph. 5:19.
Book, chapter and verse please....
Clearing up the misunderstanding about tithing in today's New Testament Church.
Nice division, consider I am a member of the Church of Christ. I will never believe what you say about the 5 parts of worship. I agree that we must worship with all our heart.
Any information about the 2016 youth conference ?
@2014Chic

Lord I want a mansion, robe and a crown in glory. I think it goes peace, love will always abound forever. Please reserve my mansion. well blah blah blah. I like heaven's on the other side.

Guh look at Nicolas and George 😩😩😩

it's called contrast, fanroe.
Perfect example of why we should not clap. One it is off. Two it is distracting.
as good as this is sounding i didnt see darwin from SwCC class of 2000

notice that a lot of them arent clapping cuz they kno its wrong. They shouldnt be there with the clapping people in the first place
we're not to use our hands either....
so now there is a division in worshipping: formal and informal. That is good to know. I don´t agree.
@snookumsweet it's not a conference jus fa blacks it's jus only blacks go.. I've never been to tht 1 bt we hav 1 in my state n if white ppl wntd to come thn they would. Bt all I got to say is dnt disrespect Tha Church of Christ makin us look lik all Tha black ppl in dis religion r racist jus no1 white came to tht 1 specific conference.
sorry that we dont add or take away from the Bible...

Why use instruments when they are not able? Natural is alway better than synthetic and that is with everything.
clapping is an instrument. Sorry
