It's a pleasure to invite all local Soul Children leaders and children- and youth choir leaders to the International Soul Children Leader Conference at Storsalen, Oslo.

This will be a day filled with workshops about the social, the spiritual, the musical and the administrativ areas that is required to operate a Soul Children choir. This event will also be relevant for others who work with children and youth in churches, and for you who are responsible for services in the various congregations. We will also worship and preach the name of Jesus, as well as a concert and time to exchange experiences, talk and have fun. 

The wish is to provide encouragement, equiped and inspiration for further local work, and we hope you have the opportunity to bring more leaders and employees from each choir, team, association and congregation.
