Events
Summer 2026 global(×) Journeys
Grow your faith, give hope to others, enact positive change, explore other cultures, expand your worldview, and see God in a new light. It all happens on a global(x) journey.
Our 2026 Summer journey applications open January 18–February 9.
Transit Weekend
Based on the latest forecast, we have decided to adjust our plans for Transit Weekend. With the winter weather expected to move in on Saturday morning, we will now only host a Friday night session.
We know your student was looking forward to a full weekend with their small group, but their safety is our top priority. Your student won't need to bring a sleeping bag or a change of clothes, just a ton of energy and excitement (and a coat)!
Parenting Workshop
Your kids live in a world of constant distraction. Getting them to focus and head in the right direction is a real challenge. They need your guidance more than ever. In this workshop, we'll hear from Licensed Professional Counselor, Josh Thames, and talk through real-life strategies to help build resilience, focus, and executive functioning.

Leadership Labs
The Middle Management Multiplier: How to Turn Friction into Momentum
Those who lead teams, departments, and projects are tasked with executing strategies set by executives. Often, however, the people in the middle are overlooked, under-resourced, and rarely leveraged in the most effective way. The result is predictable: friction grows, momentum slows, and even the best strategies stall.
In this talk, Rick Packer uncovers why the middle of the organization is not the problem but the multiplier. Designed for both executives and middle managers, this session offers practical strategies that healthy organizations use to empower, equip, and align leaders in the middle. Executives will gain a clearer understanding of how to better support execution, while middle managers will walk away with language, clarity, and confidence to lead change more effectively.

io wknd
As our students navigate life, they often get caught up in the games people play as they try to fit in and figure out who they want to be. With the constant influence of social media, it’s easy to see how they struggle with comparison and an unrealistic view of living their best life. It’s also easy to see why they find it hard to stand up for what they believe or do what is right when faced with pressure.
We want to help students break free from the social pressures and find out how God’s truth can guide their daily lives.
IO WKND will be jam-packed with inspiring sessions, meaningful worship, quality small group time, and tons of fun. This is a perfect event for your student to bring a friend!
Jump Start
Faith can be a big thing to explain to your kids, and they may have questions along the way.
Jump Start is a 15-minute presentation where parents and kids learn together what it means to put their trust in Jesus. It’s designed to help parents jump-start a conversation about faith. We’ll get the conversation started and give you a tool to help continue it at home.

Foundations
How to Read the Bible Well
Reading the Bible well can change the focus of your daily life, soften your heart, improve your relationships, and contribute to a sense of peace and satisfaction.
However, reading the Bible can also seem overwhelming. Some parts of the Bible are simple and easy to apply while others are complex.
Join us for Foundations: How to Read the Bible Well. In this interactive workshop, we’ll learn a practical, three-step process for understanding what we read in the Bible.
