Hope & Life Conference | June 19–21, 2019WATCH LIVE

You're Invited

Peace is not a quiet moment when everything makes sense. It's a state of being. It's a calm in the storm. It's a stillness and comfort on the inside that says, "God, I trust you and I know You're in control even when life's not perfect." It goes beyond our understanding. It's far more than a feeling. Peace is power.

Join us for three nights in Houston, Texas as youth and young adults gather from all over the world to unlock the power of peace and encounter the hope and life found in Jesus Christ.

We believe that God is going to exceed our expectations at this year's conference and we will leave forever different—better than we were before.

LYA is a young adult worship movement from Houston, Texas that seeks to lift the heart of God above all else. This diverse and passionate group of people serves Lakewood Church’s Legacy of Hope and is ushering in a new era. Through energetic celebrations like, Feels Like Heaven and anthemic declarations like In The Name, the message remains the same: God is good and His love is something worth singing about. LYA is more than a sound, it’s a generation of worshippers proclaiming the Hope and Life found in the Name of Jesus.

Wells shares, "I feel called to call greatness out of people." He and his wife Lorna, along with their three boys reside in Houston, Texas and serve at Lakewood Church.
Social Club Misfits


Social Club Misfits

People often talk about the future of hip-hop music like it isn't right now. As if the future were some far off paint splotch occupying our collective imagination. On the contrary, the future is now and some aren't afraid to take it where it's going. Enter Social Club Misfits, the Miami duo that has built a cult following on the strength of their provocative oeuvre and singular, quick-witted approach. Comprised of Marty and Fern, Social Club is the aftereffect of two distinctive personalities meshing to create an invigorating sound. The self-monikered "Misfits" are disruptors in every sense, challenging norms and bringing other misfits along for the ride. With a host of projects and EP's under their proverbial belt, including the Billboard-charting full lengths The Misadventures of Fern and Marty and Into the Night, Social Club Misfits have made a sport of pushing boundaries and redefining the possibilities of what faith-based music can accomplish. From headlining sold-out tours across the country to spawning imitators the world over, it's clear the duo has struck a chord with listeners from all walks of life. They have bypassed perceived gatekeepers in favor of carving their own lane and fueling their purpose. While some are content with moving wherever the current leads, Social Club Misfits have embraced their calling as leaders of a more intentional school of thought. The Misfits are now.
