WHAT IS REVIVAL CONFERENCE?
Revival Conference is a local church student conference that is founded on the belief that revival starts in the House of God but is intended to equip the next generation who will bring revival to their schools and communities. We exist to see a generation confident and empowered to operate boldly in who God has called and created them to be as they connect to God’s heart and God’s house.
REVIVED IN THE HOUSE, SENT TO THE WORLD.

IS THERE A THEME?
At Revival Conference 2025, we will rally around 1 Peter 2:9-10 – students are CHOSEN by God for a specific plan and purpose. He has called us out of darkness to experience His marvelous light. God has taken us from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted. We are CHOSEN for revival and revival starts in us.
Revival Conference is strategically placed at the end of the summer with the intention that students will propel into the new school year feeling refreshed and inspired to live their life on purpose at home, in their schools, workplaces, local church, and beyond.

What should I pack?
Anything that you would pack for a 3-5 day trip (clothes, toiletries, chargers, any medications, etc) as well as a Bible, notebook, refillable water bottle, and a small bag or backpack to carry things between the place you are staying and the conference center.
Can individuals over the age of 25 attend?
If you are in student ministry or you are the leader of a group of students attending the conference, you may purchase a ticket to attend Revival Conference. If not, thank you for understanding that this is a student conference and there are no additional seats available for general admission adults.
I have more questions!
