Grace Student Ministry (7th-12th Grade) Fall Retreat Sign up is DUE IN 9 Days! Our retreats (one in the fall and one in the spring) are always a huge highlight for students (and myself!) throughout the year. This is a time where students can get away from all the distractions of their normal weeks and experience God's nature, God's Word, and God's people. This is a great way to start the school year by grounding ourselves in who we are in Christ, making new friends, and having a lot of fun!

Challenge 2026!

- “You’re only going to have a great relationship with God, if you have a good relationship with your Bible.” Ricky Jenkins.
- “Stop faking it in God’s presence.” Stephen Love
- “You won’t appreciate God as a rock until the ground underneath you is shaken.” Eric Rivera
- “God is more comfortable with the fog (of life) than you are.” Taylor Walling

Here is what God did at Challenge 2026:
- A new sister in Christ!
- He created a safe place for honest conversations about real life burdens.
- He taught us how to bring ALL of our burdens to Him.
- He provided hope where there was none, connection where there was isolation, and peace where there was only anxiety.
- He invited us into being the hands and feet of Jesus in local Kansas City organizations and ministries.
- He exploded our small views of His place in our lives.
- He challenged us to sacrifice more for the Gospel than anything else.
- He gave wisdom to students through numerous conversations with mentors.
- He convicted us of the ways we have willingly let evil have a place in the seat of our minds.
- He reminded us that He is not only at a conference, but with us as we go home.

*Even Here, God is near.

Thank you God for using Challenge Conference 2026 to give us a clear view of who You are. There is no one like You.

“The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works.” - Ps 145:17
