Students Winter Summit
We all need time to step away from everyday life to grow and reflect. Middle and high school students are invited to dive into a weekend experience to deepen their faith, connect with each other and adults who love them as well as creating memories that last a lifetime. Winter Conference will include interactive sessions, powerful worship, teaching messages as well as breakout groups; where students will have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of topics that interest them. Winter Conference will also have group time where students have the chance to build and deepen friendships while talking about their faith with trusted adults.
Theme for Winter Summit 2024 | Dwell
What happens when hustle and hype fail to deliver the expected happiness? Why doesn't freedom of choice alleviate mental health crises? What is missing from the world's story? Is there an alternative narrative worth considering? The world's confusing tale leaves us searching. However, the transformative power of God's grace can change everything, even if we have doubts. God willingly dwells with us if we open our hearts to Him.

What should my student expect at Winter Summit?
Your student should expect to enter into an experience with God. All throughout the Scriptures, God used a mountain summit to meet with the people of God. We want to evoke that same imagery. There will be meaningful messages, challenging breakout conversations, and dynamic worship. And, of course, we won’t miss out on our great students group connections with a local food court, lots of games, and fun.
If I have never been to Mountain before, can I come?
Definitely! As long as your student is in the appropriate grade for Winter Summit, Mountain Students would love to have your student join in.
