Past EVEnts 

The Together Conference was a tremendous success this year, bringing together over 50 leaders from 9 congregations across Classis Alberta North. The sessions with Zach Ellis from Fuller Youth Institute provided practical, faith-based tools designed to immediately impact local discipleship efforts. From the powerful worship to the deep, honest discussions, the conference achieved its goal of creating a unified vision for youth ministry that will continue to resonate across the Classis throughout the year.
The annual Youth Retreat concluded with overwhelming enthusiasm, bringing together approximately 120 youth and leaders from eight different churches across our Classis!
Focused entirely on the theme of ZEAL, the weekend was a powerful time of worship, community, and focused spiritual growth. Attendees were challenged through dynamic main sessions and engaged in practical, focused breakout sessions designed to equip them to live out their faith with passion in their schools and communities.
Thank you to every church and leader who contributed to this powerful weekend! The future of our churches is bright with this level of ZEAL!
