What is CHRISTeens?CHRISTeens is a Christian youth conference hosted by the West Side Church of Christ in Russellville, Arkansas. The first CHRISTeens was held in February 1986 and we've been on a journey ever since. It's been a humbling experience to watch as God has used CHRISTeens to bless thousands of lives. Every year West Side members play an integral part in making CHRISTeens a reality - spending countless hours serving together, striving to be a blessing to our guests.
It is our goal to spiritually challenge and encourage those that attend by focusing on these three things... |

What to Expect
Passionate Worship |
At CHRISTeens we intentionally work to obtain an atmosphere of worship in which students can express themselves according to the way God is working in their hearts and minds. From the volume of the Worship Team to the lighting in the auditorium, everything is delicately thought through to help our students experience an uninhibited and powerful worship experience. Authentic and real describe the worship atmosphere at CHRISTeens.

Biblical Teaching |
In-depth, Biblical teaching is a core aspect of God's presence in our sessions at CHRISTeens. We read Scripture, are taught it's truths, and talk about it in-depth and honestly. The times we spend reading and reflecting on God's word and opening ourselves to hear and obey, are in our main sessions and smaller breakout sessions . The messages thoughtout the weekend can come in a variety of ways: preaching, teaching, testimonies, interviews, videos, spoken word, art, etc.

Raucous Fun |
Each year we like to have fun! Raucous fun! At CHRISTeens we strive to engage and entertain students through funny videos, engaging interactions, and whatever crazy ideas we can come up with. CHRISTeens is also not without it's own guest performances. Some of our guests over the years have been Jonnie W, Harris III, Josh Horton, and Buckets-N-Boards!
