About Ignite

At Ignite, we have likeminded speakers and trainers partnering with likeminded ministries, with the goal to equip and train students, youth workers, and volunteers with Biblical principles. Principles that will help each church or ministry accomplish the goal of reaching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In addition, here are some things that make us unique:

  • Every year 50% of our speakers and trainers are new to the conference. With changing themes and topics, we attempt to locate Biblical thinkers and speakers who help address that year’s focus and theme.

  • We are a youth conference that seeks to help youth workers with all the intangible needs and issues of navigating a weekend with students. We help provide free housing and provide free lunch at each location for all registrants. We also provide free food during our late-night option on Friday night for all students and a free appetizer buffet for all the adult youth workers.

  • We have three different training times during the weekend that offer 10+ workshops each time that specifically equip student leaders, volunteers and full time youth workers. So if you bring a group of 10 to the conference, your group technically could get 30 different workshops over the weekend.

  • This is a non-profit ministry and we do not have paid staff. The people who pull all of this together work in local churches and/or nonprofit ministries outside of the conference. This really is a collective effort of individuals who want to advance the Gospel.
