Historymaker is a multi denominational movement that is focused on rescuing a generation by strengthening and extending the ministry of the local church through empowering young people, training leaders and producing high impact events.

These events provide opportunities to attract and engage generations and provide practical and spiritual training and equipping for pre-teens, youth, young adults and leaders.

Historymaker, an initiative of Next Generation Ministry (NGM) welcomes thousands of pre-teens, youth, and young adults representing over 40 denominations and over 250 churches, ministries, and organizations to events every year.

History In 1964, what is now Next Generation Ministries (NGM) was created to develop programs to assist local churches in their effort to engage, save, empower and train up leaders and disciples focusing on the younger generational segments.

Glenn Richmond held the first event called the Christ Ambassadors convention. It was created along with kid's teams (crusades). Several new programs and events were developed over time. The largest was event was renamed Youth Convention in the 80’s and was hosted by large churches. The event was well supported and quickly grew. It was then moved to small hockey arenas in the early 90’s. Over the years the event has moved from Vernon to Kamloops (Sport Mart Place) 1995-2006 then to Chilliwack Prospera Center in 2007.

During this process the event was opened up to all denominations and to youth as well as young adults and was renamed Historymaker Conference.
