Challenge is our annual youth conference. Challenge 2023 is October 27-28.

Every October we welcome hundreds of students and leaders at Challenge for worship, teaching, Life Experienced sessions and Love Out Loud! Here are some of the details you need to know:

Life Experienced [Saturday Morning]

  • Saturday morning at Challenge is story time! We're not talking about children's books, we're talking about the life changing stories of God at work in the lives of people! You'll have choices, kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure novel. Every year, our Life Experienced sessions are a highlight as you hear the stories of Jesus changing the lives of real people!

Leaders Training [Saturday Morning]

  • On Saturday morning, we have a special training time for leaders! Regardless of it you been a youth ministry leader for decades or are jumping in for the first time this weekend, we want to bless you, equip you, encourage you, and thank-you for giving your time, energy [and losing sleep] so that youth can meet and be transformed by Jesus!

Love Out Loud [Saturday Afternoon]

  • One of the things that makes Challenge unique is Love Out Loud! On Saturday afternoon all of us will head out into the community to serve! Love Out Loud means living our faith in Jesus by serving others. In the past we've done things like partner with organizations who are making a difference in our community, visit seniors homes, pick apples, rake leaves, and do random acts of kindness! Love Out Loud is one of the biggest highlights of Challenge every year!
