Event Description
IGNITE is a 21-hour retreat for students in grades 7-9 designed to fuel their passion and discipline as Christ-followers. They will come away inspired and equipped to live out their faith daily! We encourage you to send students in your ministry who are committed to Christ and teachable. While every IGNITE conference has an overall discipleship theme, specific presentations are on a 3-year rotation, so you can send students for more than one year.
