Since 1988, the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA) has challenged students to live on mission for Jesus through student conferences. Grounded in the EFCA Statement of Faith, Challenge brings trusted EFCA speakers to teach gospel-centered disciplemaking to the next generation. We are committed to helping you plant and water the gospel among the next generation. We want students to experience the joy of knowing Jesus and helping others do the same. Challenge blends aspects of a conference, a mission trip and a camp to create a catalytic environment that moves beyond the mountaintop moment to building missional momentum within your group. More than a conference. Challenge blends the best aspects of a conference, camp and mission trip to offer a transformative environment for your students. More than a weekend. For five days, your students will experience the presence of God, and have many opportunities to learn, grow and dive deeper into their walk with Jesus. More than your youth group. As you worship alongside thousands of other students from across the country, you’ll remember you’re a part of something bigger than yourself. More than one-size-fits-all. From Gatherings and Huddles to Recreation and Outreach, Challenge provides a customizable experience to fit your group’s unique needs. More than one event. Challenge is designed to build disciplemaking momentum—to equip your students to bring their experiences home into their local communities.
