GAiN Convention to Be Hosted in UK for Gen Z Content Creators
29 January 2025 |
From February 28 to March 2, GAiN (Global Adventist Internet Network) will be hosting a convention at Newbold College in Bracknell, UK, where digital evangelism, creativity, and innovation will be discussed with Gen Z believers. Existing under the banner of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church Communications department, GAiN has run many conventions to teach, advance, and inform communicators across the globe.
GAiN Gen Z is a pilot project consisting of breakout sessions for multiple fields such as Video Editing, Podcasting, and more. Dr. Seth Pierce and Kevin Wilson, the lead and associate pastors for Sunnyside Church in Oregon, will be the keynote speakers. Dr. Pierce is an accomplished academic, known for his podcast with the Adventist Learning Community, Beast and Bible, which is in its second season. Kevin Wilson, known online as “The Chai Guy,” gained internet fame on TikTok for discussing approachable theology while making Chai.
For Gen Z, evangelism and their relationship to the church have taken on different forms through the rise of social media, specific platforms, and other digital arenas. The convention’s purpose is to discuss this well-worn mission field and how to adapt to the digital culture without compromising the gospel message.
