Rise Conference 2026 — A Night for the Next Generation
Something big is happening here at New Hope.
Our young adults are hungry for more — and they are determined to rise up together as one generation to proclaim their love for Jesus Christ. That is what Rise Conference is all about.
Not a service. Not a youth event. A conference — with powerful messages, loud-and-proud worship, and a room full of people your age who are asking the same questions you are about faith, life, and what it means to follow Jesus in a world that does not make it easy.
This is a call to rise.
Why Rise Conference Exists
We live in a culture that moves fast, pulls hard, and rarely asks us to slow down long enough to consider what we actually believe. The next generation navigates that tension every single day.
Rise Conference exists to create a different kind of night. A night anchored in the words of Zechariah 13:9 — the image of a generation refined, strengthened, and hardened for relationship with God and with one another. Not softened by comfort, but shaped by something deeper.
The vision is simple and counter-cultural: come together, go deeper, rise.

Come Be Part of Something Bigger
You do not need to have it all figured out. You do not need to be the most devoted person in the room. You just need to show up.
Rise Conference is for anyone who is willing to step into a room with other people your age and say: I want more. More depth. More connection. More of what God has for this generation.
Doors open at 4:00 PM on Saturday, August 8.
Register today and bring someone with you.
