National Summit 

July 31 - August 2, 2025

Charlotte, NC

A gathering for collegiate & young adult communities and movements who are longing for revival and renewal on their campuses and in their cities.

CHRISTLIKENESS: BEHOLDING & BECOMING

We long to be a generation who is continually Beholding & Becoming more like Jesus. The Gospel not only saves us but it invites us into the work of sanctification by the Holy Spirit. A work of shaping and molding us into the likeness and image of Christ — making us people and communities of goodness. At this year’s National Summit we’re leaning into what it means to be rooted in Christian identity and character, mature through a devotional lifestyle of Scripture engagement and prayer, grow up in Christ through a lifestyle of practical obedience, and grow out by becoming a disciple maker.

Our prayer is that we all leave looking a little more like Jesus and continue this process throughout the rest of our lives!

Why We Gather?

  • We gather to exalt Jesus over our generation, university campuses, and cities.

  • It’s easy to get lost in the crowd in today’s attractional and curated conference environments. We intentionally build our gatherings in a way to cultivate meaningful connections for people across different cities, states, campuses, and communities.

  • We believe God is not only raising up Gospel-shaped individuals who are going to make a meaningful impact in the world. He is raising up powerful communities who are going to change the world. We believe Christian community is God’s vehicle for awakening and renewal on our college campuses and in our cities. Our desire is to see communities strengthened with fresh vision and faith for their community, campus, city, and generation. Imagine the implications of hearts collectively marked — this is our prayer.

  • God is at work in our generation! We believe He invites each us to join in what He is doing by inviting renewal/revival into our hearts and contexts. As we gather, our prayer is that a fresh move of God’s Spirit would catalyze resilient faith in our hearts that would impact our generation and future generations to come.
