The Late Nighter - Groton, CT

In 2017, a vision for a collaborative youth event was born out of a series of conversations among youth pastors in Massachusetts. They found themselves in agreement that their annual youth group events, which were run by outside and out-of-touch organizations, just weren’t hitting the mark.

It was a desire to create something new and refreshing, an event that would actually engage and inspire our youth, that brought the Late Nighter to life. More than just another event, the Late Nighter is a movement that draws youth pastors in to collaborate and stack hands to see the Gospel spread in our region while also calling students to put their faith in action in their schools, families and communities.

We invite you to be a part of what God is doing in this! Don’t stay on the sidelines and join us for an awesome night this fall.

After years of watching this event bring youth ministries together and grow beyond what we could have ever dreamed, we are excited to announce that the Late Nighter will now be partnering with Berea Ministries.

Doors Open at 6:00pm and the event begins at 7:00pm.

What is Expected of me, a youth pastor?

Like we said, the Late Nighter wouldn’t exist without the efforts of youth pastors banding together for the sake of God’s Kingdom. Our hope is that you wouldn’t just join in on the fun, but also own a piece of the night. The Late Nighter can’t happen without YOU and your team serving alongside us. There will be an informational zoom call in the Fall of 2026 to walk you through all of the available roles, logistics and details of what you need to know.
