Happening
Focus: To provide high school aged youth with a peer-led, weekend experience where they can listen and talk openly about their faith, life challenges, and Jesus.
Scope: Happening provides high school-aged youth an opportunity to have a spiritually connected weekend of shared story, talks, worship and music that is led and planned by other teens. In a world that presents real challenges in finding space and tapping into faith, Happening creates community around safe, hopeful, non-judgmental and real conversation about how Christ's grace fits in.
