What is Challenge?
Challenge Conference is an incredible week where students (incoming 8th grade-graduating 12th grade) gather to grow in their faith, have a ton of fun, and be reminded that they’re part of something bigger than themselves. Challenge brings engaging speakers, powerful worship, and meaningful friendships together in one high-energy environment. It feels like a mix of camp, conference, and mission trip. Students leave encouraged, challenged, and ready to live boldly for Jesus back home.
This Year’s Theme: Even Here
At Challenge 2026, we’ll step into the Psalms to encounter the same unchanging truth: the loving presence of God transforms every place we stand. And as students return home, they’ll carry with them the deep assurance that, no matter where they are or what they face, God is even here.
Registration
Challenge is July 13-17th in Kansas City. Trip details and cost for this year’s conference are being finalized. Registration coming soon!
“Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your
presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my
bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand
will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.” (Ps 139:7-10)
