OneHeart Conference is a power-packed weekend full of connection, excitement, and encounter with God. It is a place where 6th – 12th grade students come to build relationships, be inspired, and be equipped to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to bring students together with ‘One Heart’ and in one accord to encounter God and to leave better equipped to follow Christ daily.
This year, our conference theme is ‘The Jesus Way’.
In John 13, we witness a profound act of humility as Jesus washes the feet of His disciples. This moment encapsulates “The Jesus Way”—a path defined by love, service, and selflessness. Jesus, the Son of God, took on the role of a servant, demonstrating that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is found not in being served, but in serving others.
Embracing “The Jesus Way” transforms our perspective on life. In a world that often promotes individualism and self-promotion, Jesus calls us to live counter-culturally. By serving others, we reflect His love and grace, becoming instruments of His peace and hope.
When we serve like Jesus, we find fulfillment and purpose. Each act of kindness, no matter how small, is a step towards building God’s Kingdom on earth. Serving brings us closer to Christ, aligning our hearts with His. It teaches us humility, compassion, and the joy that comes from giving ourselves to others.

Lunch and dinner are provided on Saturday. We also have many snacks available during free times and have a coffee kiosk available for purchasing specialty beverages.
We have four designated times throughout the Conference for small groups. For guest churches, small group time will be facilitated by the Youth Pastor/Leader of that group. If needed, one of our hosts will help you find your space for your group to meet together. We provide a small group guide for you and your leaders if you would like to use that as a template for your time, or you may organize and lead your group however it seems best!
For security reasons, we have a ‘no backpack’ policy. We make exceptions on this policy for students that need to carry medications and other medical items. (We do encourage students to bring a notebook, pen and Bible with them.) All bags are subject to be searched by our security team and we are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

There will be parking lot signs to direct you; it is on the east side (52nd St) of the building. We will have one of the doors designated as the ‘Youth Leader Entrance.” At 6:30pm, we ask that you send your main youth pastor/leader in that door to check in with a volunteer, pick up your conference supplies, and then go back out to gather your students and bring them inside.

We offer refunds upon email request up to 2 weeks before the conference.
