Special Events

30 Hour Famine - Last weekend of February

On behalf of millions who experience hunger on a daily basis, students choose to go without food in order to raise funds for World Vision's efforts for the poor. A little bit of hunger goes a long way!

UnBelievable - Spring

Let's P-A-R-T-A-Y! An unbelievable weekend that helps teens to connect to one another so that they can build relationships that will help their faith last through the long haul.

High School CIY Conference - Summer

Can you say road trip? I knew you could! CIY's Summer Conference is a tool the student ministry has used for years to strengthen relationships, develop leaders, and introduce teens to Christ. Students experience a week filled with intense teaching, dynamic worship, mentoring opportunities, top notch speakers, and daily devotions, all while building a greater sense of community.

Aquire The Fire Conference - Fall

Students participate in intense worship, concerts and performances that let them see worship can be a party that celebrates God, yet something with a challenging bite. Acquire is not the place for Christian teens to feel comfortable with a whimpy faith. National speakers and musicians call teens to "live the difference."
