LA Students // Statewide student conference
Influence one day, one room, every youth group in Louisiana
Worship that fills the room, preaching that sends students home bold, a mid-break bash with food and fun outside, and an afterparty worth staying for. Influence is the loudest day on the student calendar.

// What Influence is
Faith loud enough to mark your school
Influence is the Louisiana Network's statewide student conference: one day built to equip students and send them into their communities to make a real difference. Our faith moves us to be a positive influence, and we want a generation filled with the Holy Spirit and bold enough to shift the culture around them.
Our heart is to see teenagers from every corner of Louisiana leave a mark on their schools, their families, and their hometowns with the Gospel. That takes one day, one room, and every youth group in the state showing up together.
