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.
