IGNITE 2026
One night. Big memories. Real encounters with Jesus.
IGNITE is an overnight experience for 7th-12th grade students designed to awaken faith, build meaningful friendships, and create an environment where students can genuinely encounter Jesus.
We believe students can have a ton of fun while growing deeply in their faith. Throughout the night, students will worship together, hear the Word, build community, compete, laugh, make memories, and be challenged to take another step toward Jesus.
Our prayer is simple: students meet Jesus, faith comes alive, and no one leaves the same.
THE HEART OF IGNITE
Our theme for IGNITE 2026 is centered around a simple prayer:
“I believe; help my unbelief!” - Mark 9:24
We want students to know that they don’t have to have everything figured out to pursue Jesus. Whether they have followed Him for years, are wrestling with questions, or are experiencing church for the first time, IGNITE is a place where they can come as they are and take a step of faith.
“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” - Ephesians 5:14
Our desire is to see a generation awakened to who Jesus is and discover what it looks like to live fully alive in Him.
OUR GOAL
Win students to Christ. Increase their faith. Build real community. Have a ton of fun. And create an experience students can’t wait to invite their friends to.
We want every student to leave IGNITE with:
A stronger faith
A deeper relationship with Jesus
Meaningful friendships and community
Incredible memories
A greater desire to be part of NL YTH
Confidence to invite their friends and keep pursuing Jesus
Hype worship
A powerful special guest speaker
Epic team competitions
Live DJ dance party
Late-night trip to Altitude Trampoline Park
Coffee cart

PARENTS, WE’VE GOT YOU
We know sending your student to an overnight event is a big deal. Our team is committed to providing an environment that is safe, organized, well-supervised, welcoming, and intentional while still giving students an experience they will be talking about long after the weekend is over. Students will be surrounded by leaders who care about them and are passionate about helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus. Registered families will receive additional information before the event, including a detailed packing list, modesty guidelines, medication instructions, and other important event information.
