A 4-day conference where young adults 18-28 are empowered to live out the mission of Jesus

December 15-18, 2023

Registration opens June 16th

At some point all of us ask ourselves these questions:

Who am I?

Where am I going?

What is my purpose?

Do I have what it takes to carry it out?

Some people never find the answers. They spend their lives running from the questions.

But some people go looking. And like the first disciples, they meet a man who asks them, “What are you looking for?” 

You don’t have to have the perfect answers. You just have to ask the right person. And to those who are looking, Jesus gives you this invitation: 

Come and see.
