Host Homes // IGNITE 2025

Thank you for wanting to make a difference in the next generation at IGNITE 2025, February 14-16, 2025! This is a powerful weekend where students can ignite and deepen their relationship with Jesus, make good friends, and connect with leaders! Last year we had 63 salvations and we’d love for your family to be a part of it this year! 

 

Staying in Host Homes gives students an opportunity to experience a healthy family. Though we are not perfect by any means, many students have different upbringings that would greatly benefit from seeing the raw, authentic reality of a healthy home. We ask that both spouses be present during that breakfast time in the morning. Plus, your kids are welcome to the table for morning breakfast! We want our students to see y’all simply do life together in the mornings.
