This gathering is designed for young adults ages 18–27 who want to grow in their faith, build meaningful friendships, and explore the life and mission of the Church alongside others their age.
During the week, we’ll participate in the Charis Fellowship Conference hosted at Grace Fellowship while staying together at HoneyBell Resort near Sugar Grove.
Each evening, we’ll have intentional time together through shared meals, worship, conversations,  and community.
This week is for:
People exploring ministry.
People who love the Church.
People asking deeper questions about what is next.
People who want to be part of something rooted in mission and hope.

Our hope is simple:
That young adults would experience the heart of the Charis Fellowship firsthand, a family of churches committed to the gospel, shaped by grace, and working together to make Christ known around the world.
We hope this week helps people discover that there is a place for them in that story.

At some point, everyone realizes ministry is impossible alone. You need friendships that sharpen you, older voices that steady you, and people your age who remind you that God is still moving no matter how you feel.
And that is part of why this trip exists.
Throughout the week, we will gather with leaders, pastors, missionaries, church planters, worship leaders, students, and other young adults from across the country  all connected through the Charis Fellowship.
Not because everyone is the same.
Actually, one of the best things about Charis is that we aren’t.
Each church carries its own personality, leadership style, and local mission. Churches are autonomous, able to serve their communities in unique ways, while still choosing partnership, accountability, and friendship with one another.
And somehow, that shared mission keeps producing deep friendship. We want to offer that to you.
SO though the main thing you are coming for is a conference.
You will probably probably leave remembering the people, and that is honestly what we want. We want the kingdom to grow. And if this time helps get young adults to from connections that spread the gospel faster, we have accomplished the mission. 

The Charis Fellowship is a family of churches connected by shared theology, shared mission, and shared relationship.
For generations, churches within Charis have worked together to plant churches, send missionaries, train leaders, and serve communities around the world.
What makes the fellowship unique is its balance of autonomy and interdependence.
Every church remains locally led and uniquely shaped for its own community. There is no centralized model every church must copy. At the same time, churches willingly choose partnership, encouraging one another, supporting one another, and carrying mission together.
That spirit of cooperation has led to a global missions movement far larger than most would expect from a fellowship this size.
And while the history is meaningful, what feels most exciting is the future.
There is a growing generation of leaders, servants, church planters, artists, disciplers, and everyday believers who still believe the Church matters deeply.
This gathering exists to help young adults step into this fellowship.
