Ignite Spring Conference 2025
March 21-22
Being Formed by Christ in College and Beyond
A Gathering of College Students, Recent Grads, and Young Adults
The joy of being a follower of Jesus is a lifetime of becoming more like Him. The college experience offers countless opportunities for making choices and building spiritual disciplines that cause Christ to be more fully formed in our lives. The transition from college into life after college can be daunting. New challenges and disappointments need to be navigated with much prayer and in healthy Christian community. Conference speakers and content will inspire and equip young adults for a God shaped life.
