Presence Conference

Presence Conference is a one-day, group-based experience for junior high and high school students who are sensing God’s call into full-time ministry or intentionally exploring that calling. Through focused worship, teaching, prayer, and discernment, students will be challenged to lean into God’s Presence and seek clarity for their future. This is not a general youth event, but an intentionally designed gathering for spiritually mature students who are ready to engage deeply and thoughtfully in what God may be calling them to next.
