Ignite has truly IGNITED other aspects of my faith through the great speakers and sessions that I attended during the entirety of the conference.
Ignite is great because it provides teaching and training for both my students and leaders. There are lots of other great conferences but they usually only focus on training the students or training the leaders but at Ignite you get both.
I learned so many new things and just felt the Lord in the room all weekend.
“Ignite is an incredible weekend for both students and leaders. The worship, speakers and breakout sessions are just an amazing boost to charge us up each year to plan big things for our youth group.”
"Ignite brought me closer to Jesus and to the students from our church who attended. This is my first year as a youth leader and my first Ignite Conference – and I
can't wait to come back next year.
Thank you putting this on!"

Thank you for all your work and dedication to Ignite. It's something we look forward to every year. Among the many students who gave their lives to Jesus on Friday night were four from our own group. Praise God– This is what it's all about!
