FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2021
Registration deadline is Saturday, April 10, 2021!
The Alabama State Youth Competition will be held in conjunction with the State Convention at the Hyatt Regency Birmingham.
Due to continuing concerns with COVID-19, as with everything else over the last year, State Competition will be different as well.
For categories where there are multiple entries, entrants will compete on Friday night, April 30. The competition schedule for each category will be determined once entries are received, and participants will be notified forthwith.
For categories where there is only one entry, entrants will progress straight to Nationals and will not compete at the State Competition level.
Because of these changes, there will be no awards ceremony at the end of the competition this year. Certificates will be mailed to participants, and winners will be published here on our website.
The Friday night service of the State Meeting will feature a multi-generational worship service, with blended worship involving teens and adults and a challenging message from Bro. Neil Gilliland. After the service, there will be a fun-filled youth event featuring Bro. Neil and Bro. Jon Forrest. We encourage all CTS participants, along with adults and youth of all ages, to participate in this service. We would love to see churches bring their entire youth groups to this service, regardless of whether they are participating in the competition or not!
GUIDELINES
Please follow the Vertical Three Conference CTS Ministry Expo Guidelines, revised 2020-2021 (available for purchase from Randall House at the link here) or available online via Firebox subscription (link here). Please take notice of your specific entries to see if there have been any changes within the guidelines, and be in compliance with those guidelines.
The Dress Code printed in the Guidelines was adopted by the National Association of Free Will Baptists for Youth Competition. Please help portray an example of modesty and respect by discussing the Dress Code and by setting guidelines for your young people that work in harmony with the Dress Code.
