About Youth Fest

Youth Fest began in April of 2003 when God's calling was answered and put into action by several members of Pilot Baptist Church in Zebulon, North Carolina. Through lots of prayers and God's will, the planning began to host an event that would minister to the surrounding areas and would include bringing today's top christian artists for an outdoor concert event free to the public. With the rise of contemporary christian music filling up more of today's secular air waves, we believe in our hearts that God's calling for Youth Fest comes precisely at a time where there is an opportunity for many to hear God's word, but question His existence and His purpose in their lives. We believe that Youth Fest will provide a great opportunity to answer some of those questions that those who do not walk with Christ may have. The money to finance Youth Fest is obtained by Fundraisers, contributions, and business sponsors. Please continue to pray for this ministry that it will reach those who are lost and lead them to know and walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
