Soul in the City, a charity that organises youth conferences and festivals, has been running Soul Survivor events for 11 years. Its most successful to date was in 2000, when 11,000 young people did 10 days' community work in Manchester.
The charity is expecting 15,000 supporters at this year's Soul Survivor, which takes place between 26 July and 6 August.
"It's not about forcing our beliefs down other people's throats. It's about getting into the community and letting action speak louder than words," said Soul in the City spokeswoman Rachel Harper.
Delegates will camp at four sites and besides doing community work, such as cleaning and painting, they will participate in sport, worship and teaching.
