“Attending Gen C-Culture changed my understanding of what it means to follow Christ. I learned that Christianity is not only about attending church but living for Jesus every day. The programme challenged me to grow spiritually, love others, and become intentional about sharing Christ with people around me.”
Raisingthe nextgeneration
We help teenagers and young adults meet Christ, discover what they carry, and lead the rebuilding of their own generation — one life, one neighbourhood, one nation at a time.
“Every generation inherits a world it did not build. The question is what it does with what it’s been given.”
Across Nigeria and beyond, a generation is coming of age faster than anyone is discipling it. Rebuild Next Generation exists to close that gap — not with another once-a-year event, but with a movement that builds faith, character, purpose, leadership and impact into young people, deliberately, over years, not weekends.
We are an international, interdenominational Christian fellowship. We work with any church, any background, one goal: a generation that doesn’t just inherit the world, but rebuilds it.
What we build
Faith
Knowing Christ personally — not inherited belief, but a daily, living relationship that holds up outside the conference hall.
Character
Integrity, discipline and the kind of consistency that outlasts a spiritual high. Who you are when no one's watching.
Purpose
Helping every young person name their calling instead of guessing at it for another ten years.
Leadership
Practice leading now — in church, school and community — not just theory saved for later.
Impact
Turning what's learned into something a neighbourhood can actually feel.
Seven ways we work with young people
Discipleship & Mentorship
Small-group Bible engagement and one-on-one pairing with mature believers for the long haul.
Leadership Workshops
Hands-on training in responsibility and influence — young people leading real things, with real stakes.
Skill Acquisition
Practical, marketable skills alongside spiritual growth — equipping young people for real life.
Bible Quiz
Friendly, rigorous competition that turns Scripture engagement into something young people look forward to.
Sports
Team, discipline and character built on the field, not just in the classroom.
Drama & Worship
Creative arts as a serious ministry track — performance, music and worship developed with excellence.
Face of Gen-C
Our signature talent platform, spotlighting young people's gifts in front of the whole community.

The Next Generation Conference
Now in its ninth year, our annual conference brings teenagers, young adults, leaders and mentors together for days of teaching, worship, workshops and honest conversation about what it means to build a generation — not just entertain one.

Founded in 2017 by Rev. Gary Samuelson, JP — who leads the organization today as Director — we started as Africa Next Generation, built around the same conviction we hold now: that a generation discipled deliberately can reshape a continent. As the vision grew beyond a single conference into a year-round movement of discipleship, leadership and mentorship, we registered under a new name — Rebuild Next Generation Christian Fellowship — to carry it forward.
Same mission. Same people. A name that finally matches the scope of the work.

The generation we're building
“Gen C-Culture gave me a fresh passion for Christ and helped me see my generation differently. I was encouraged to live beyond myself and become a positive influence. The experience strengthened my faith, changed my priorities, and inspired me to share the message of Christ with friends and others.”
