FAQ

What is the purpose of the conference?

The conference is designed to bring college students into a deeper vision of God’s purpose (Acts 26:19) and help them to pursue Christ in their daily life (2 Tim. 2:22). Each day we will practice to spend time with the Lord first thing in the morning, we will praise and worship the Lord Jesus through singing, and we will be under the hearing of faith by listening to several spoken messages from God’s word. In addition, there will be many opportunities to meet other Christian students from around the Mountain states through small group breakout sessions, outdoor recreation, and other activities!
