This conference aims to be more than a series of standalone sessions; it is designed to be a fully immersive week to help you embody your faith in visible, practical ways. Each element of the week is crafted to bring the theme Faith Made Visible to life, not only through words, but through movement, prayer, action, and connection.
Throughout the week, you will take part in service projects, spiritual workshops, small-group discussions, and opportunities for both fellowship and reflection that help you recognize how God works through your hands and hearts.
Here is what we have planned for you:
4 sessions broken out by age group on topics that embody the theme for the conference that are a combination of a lesson, small group discussion, and reflection time.
You will also be able to choose 1-2 shorter sessions that focus on more practical topics that are relevant to your general spiritual life.
An immersive evening of Scripture, hymns, communal singing, and testimonies focused on what it truly means to be a light in the world through our actions, thoughts, and words. This night will culminate in a 4th of July fireworks show.
Serve alongside Detroit organizations such as food banks, shelters, and community ministries in a spirit of solidarity and discipleship rather than charity.
Throughout the conference, you’ll have access to a dedicated prayer room at the hotel, with a priest available for prayer, guidance, or a quiet conversation. The room will be open at various times each day for anyone who wants a moment of peace or reflection. The daily schedule for the prayer room will be available during conference.
Breakout sessions for current and emerging youth leaders focused on servant leadership, communication, teamwork, and faith-centered influence.
Explore Detroit together through a planned outing that highlights the city’s history of sports and architecture. An evening baseball game in the heart of downtown at Comerica Park, where our group is the charity of the game and a surprise guest, known to all of us, will throw out the first pitch.
Enjoy moments of joy and belonging through fellowship activities and intentional opportunities to build friendships rooted in faith. This will include organized games, reflective spaces to pray together, seek advice, dance, and learn from your peers.
