FTYD Events

Elevation

The goal of Elevation is to inspire teens to a greater prayer life. Over 70 youth ministries have joined up with us in this grassroots movement. Over 4,000 students attended the two '06 events in September and January. Students are taught the importance of prayer and given practical ways to apply prayer to their life. Your teen will be challenged to a greater prayer life.

Dare2Share

If your student was in a place where they had the opportunity to share their faith, could they? D2S (Dare2Share) is all about equipping your students with the tools they need to tell their friends about Jesus. Last year our students came back really excited not only about what God had spoken to them but what they could share with their friends. We spend Friday and Saturday at the event, and then Sunday we head to downtown Chicago for shopping and fun.

Quixotic Weekend

(Quixotic; pursuing what seems impossible to others)

Quixotic weekends are weekends where we study specific topics such as serving, evangelism, how to study the Bible and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Other youth ministries join us for this weekend filled with fun, great worship, and in-depth teaching.

AJF Weekends

"Authentic Jesus Followers" weekends. This is for all teenagers that desire a closer walk with God. A few times throughout the year we take the teens on a weekend where we can have an in-depth study on certain topics such as evangelism, serving and gifts of the Holy Spirit. This weekend event is held locally and the cost is usually very low.

ATF Weekend

"Acquire the Fire" is an intense gathering of thousands of young people and youth leaders in cities all across North America. This event has elements of lighting effects, video, drama, pyrotechnics and an exclusive theatrical production all for the purpose of creatively teaching and equipping teenagers. World-class speakers and bands will be featured. We've seen many lives changed when students have an encounter with God at ATF. This is a "Junior High Only"event - no high school students. It is a great opportunity to get away and have a "God Moment". ATF is an exciting introduction to "big" youth events.

Jr. High Camp

Summer camp is an exciting opportunity to experience God Moments designed just for Junior High students. Junior High Camp is just that - camp for Junior High students only! It is a ‘long weekend’ created to purposefully provide opportunities to challenge and inspire 6th-8th grade students. Don’t miss out on this great, life-changing experience!
