Can I Attend a Church Conference If I Am Not Christian?

Team info
Description	Church conferences also known as youth conferences are a time for people to come together to worship, read the Bible, and meet believers. While most church conferences are attended by Christians, it’s not a must that you are already part of the religion to attend the conference. Many non-Christians attend church conferences when they are curious about the faith or when they want to meet a mentor or other leaders within the religion. This guide will cover what to expect from church conferences as well as how to attend if you are not a Christian. What is a Church Conference? A church conference is different compared to a regular church service that you might attend on Sunday morning. However, there are still some similarities. Church conferences are a place for people to be able to worship, learn, and connect with others which is also what is done on Sunday mornings. However, church conferences do all these things on a wider scale. Church conferences also include speakers, workshops, and services for singing and worship. People who attend church conferences are able to connect with others and experience inspirational talks where they can grow in their faith and create their own testimonials which will help them to connect with God and lead others to Christ as well. Types of Church Conferences There are many different kinds of church conferences and some are better for nonbelievers compared to others. For example, there are leadership conferences where people learn how to become leaders in the church. These kinds of conferences might not be the best for non-Christians because they first need to work on their own faith and testimony before they can really become a leader. A good first-time conference for nonbelievers is one that teaches about the words of Christ and encourages new people to become part of the faith. There are also specialty conferences like those for worship which you might consider attending if you sing or if you plan an instrument. These conferences will also allow you to learn about the worship of God and give you insight into why this is important for the faith. For younger people that are nonbelievers, they might want to consider attending a special youth or young adult conference. These conferences are made for kids in high school or college and are aimed at allowing them to meet other kids whom they can interact and share their beliefs with. Always check what the conference is about before attending and make sure it’s right for the age group and topics you are interested in. Attending a Church Conference as a Non Believer When you sign up or attend a church conference, no one asks if you are a believer or how long you have been a Christian. However, as you attend the event and meet people, they might ask you about your story and how you became a Christian. You can be honest and let them know you are not a believer but that you are attending the conference because you are interested in learning more about God and how to grow as a Christian. Most people are very receptive about this and they are excited at the opportunity to minister and show others the love of God. If you are not comfortable talking to people or sharing your beliefs, this is also okay. You can attend the conference as you like and make your own boundaries. Many non-Christians attend church conferences with friends and family members who have invited them. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to others, you can just stick close to your loved one and let them lead you through the conference so you can see what’s going on. How to Make the Most of a Church Conference as a Non Believer If you are not a believer, there is probably some reason you have decided to attend a church conference. Maybe you are just curious about the faith or maybe you used to be part of the faith and now you are making your way back. Whatever your reason for attending the conference is, there are some steps you can take to make the most out of your time here. Get prepared. Prepare yourself for the conference by seeing what kinds of sessions and talks are being offered. You can then choose to engage with the ones that you think might be the most meaningful for you. You should also prepare for the conference by buying a few things like pens, a notebook, and a Bible if you do not have one. Get ready to engage. Most of the time, leaders of the sessions ask you to engage with them by asking a few questions or going around the room and playing a game. Try to engage as much as possible. Network. Conferences are a great place to network whether it be for business, for the Christian community, or just to meet new friends. While it might seem nerve-wracking to talk to others, it’s important to take the time to meet others and include yourself in conversations. Apply learnings to your life. At a conference, you will learn tons of new things and many of them can help you to become a better person whether you are a believer after the conference or not. Get connected. If you enjoyed the conference, you might want to consider attending the church where it took place. This way you can get connected and still meet and interact with others that you met at the conference. The Bottom Line You can attend a church conference as a non-Christian just like you can attend church services if you are not a believer. It’s not uncommon for non-Christians to attend conferences either alone or with someone who has invited them. You don’t have to feel uncomfortable or bad about attending as a nonbeliever so always sign up for a conference if you feel like that’s what God is calling you to do.
