A senior youth church service took place on July 5, 2025, offering a place for the senior youth of the Adventist Church to come and worship together during the 62nd General Conference Session in St. Louis, Missouri.

Held in the Ferrara Theater at the America’s Center Convention Complex, the worship service began with music led by two groups: Jehovah Shalom from Uganda, and the Chamber Choir of the Adventist University of Chile.

James Tham from the Chinese Union Mission presented the sermon. He preached on the urgency of Jesus' return and signs of the times, the pivotal role of young people in the church today, and how there is a need for a relational, not obligatory, faith. 

"Jesus loves them so much. He wants you to share with them. Jesus is coming," Tham said, speaking to the need to share the gospel message. "Who's going to care for them if it is not us?”
