IGNITION 2026 is a youth conference for students in grades 7-12.

Join us for 2 days of jam-packed fun, valuable workshops, and thought-provoking Bible talks. You'll get the chance to:

  • connect with like-minded friends & mentors

  • hear from engaging guest speakers

  • worship with a live band

  • eat some amazing food/snacks/boba at the Ignition “night market”

And of course, you'll be equipped to level-up with leadership, apologetics and worldview training, and be able to respond together to God’s Word.

We'll wrap up with a high-energy sports tournament that will be fun for both spectators and participants alike!
