DEAR FRIENDS... Rocknations has become more than just a conference. It is a testimony of what God can do through young people who truly know Him.
‘To Know You’ is more than just a song by RPM…it’s the theme of RN07. Have you ever met someone and discovered that the better you knew that person the more you liked them? God is like that….the better you know God, the more of God you love.
That’s why each message, every music note and all of the mayhem of activities over four days will be crafted to help you experience God while having more fun than you ever thought possible! We are thrilled to have Christine Caine from Sydney Australia and LZ7 with us for the first time, along with our great friends Andy Hawthorne, Mal Fletcher and Titus returning. Chezz, Jon Norman, myself and the entire RN team all look forward to getting to know you and hope to see you at RN07!

The raw passion and energy of the band is unmistakable as they continue to lead a worship revolution, helping young people connect with God through loud and relevant music.
