Ascend Youth Conference 2026

This generation does not need louder noise or better entertainment— we need real encounters with God that form resilient faith and clear calls to live on mission in everyday life.

Whether you are exploring faith, growing in your walk with Jesus, or hungry for deeper encounters with God, Ascend Youth Conference is a place to encounter God, build community, and be equipped to live out your faith.

Over the course of the conference weekend, middle and high school students will:

Ascend to Meet God
Psalm 24:3–4, Exodus 24:9–10
Encounter precedes action. Throughout Scripture, God meets His people as they go up—and in the gospel, we see that God first came down to meet us personally through Jesus.

Be Transformed in His Presence
Matthew 17:1–5
We do not stay the same when we encounter Jesus. He transforms us from the inside out, shaping our faith, identity, and purpose.

Be Sent Back on Mission
Matthew 28:16–20
After encountering God, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit and sent back to impact our schools, families, churches, and communities.
