Christianity 101 | Christian Barrett
If you're coming to the New Year's Conference and have expressed barriers to believing in the Christian faith, or, if you are a believer but have doubts that feel difficult to overcome, this seminar will take time to engage with a few common barriers to belief, and hopefully, find the truth to help with overcoming your barriers to belief and persistent doubts.

Friendship | Ashley Scruggs
Could I really be making decisions right now about friendship that would change the rest of my life? What messages do I get from the culture that are spot on about God’s design for healthy friendships? Anything better that God offers?

The Heart of Discipleship| Chase Walker
To be discipled by Jesus is to learn from him, and by his grace to become like him. But what role do others play in my discipleship, and what role is Jesus calling me to play in the discipleship of others? Let’s learn together from Jesus, as he shows us what impact could be produced from a lifelong pursuit of discipleship for ourselves and for others.

Humble Pie | Isaac Kain
Tupac Shakur once said “All Eyez on Me”, but when the eyes of the Creator land on you, what will He see? In this seminar we will look at a character in the Bible who is deeply changed by the time he spends with Jesus and how this experience is one we can share in!

Learning to Love the Bible | Elisa Horning
What is the Bible, and what makes it so beautiful and important to Christians? Do you love it, feel confused by it, or ignore it? Whether you’ve been reading it since childhood or opened one for the first time this week, come explore the rewards and challenges of studying the book where God is revealed.

Making a Difference: How College Students Can Change the World | Tony Dentman
Discover how college students can change the world by being purposeful leaders. This seminar will help you understand the link between self-discovery and lasting impact, so you can create a legacy that inspires future generations.

Making Hard Decisions | Andy Hardin
Why is decision making so hard? What are some practical steps I can take to make wise decisions? We all need help in making decisions. In this seminar, we will answer the questions above by giving you a Biblical perspective on decision making. If you need help in making hard decisions, this is the seminar for you!

Rip the Roof Off | Blake Buckman
In Luke chapter 5 we see a story of four friends trying hard to get their paralyzed friend to Jesus for healing. They're so desperate, they're willing to rip the roof of a house off for their buddy to encounter Jesus. They end up receiving so much more than they anticipated. Do you have a desire for your friends to know Jesus like these guys? Come hear about why God wants to use YOU for evangelism and learn about some practical and simple ways to share your faith with your friends. Let's be willing to rip off the roof to get even one person to Jesus.

Security & Shame | Stefan Sauder
A secure identity. We all want one, but struggle at having one. The greatest barrier to a secure identity is something we talk little about...our shame. Come learn how to function out of a secure identity in Christ by dealing with your shame.

Your Church is Your Family | Andrew VanderMaas
As a Christian you are welcomed into the family of God. While that truth connects us with believers all over the world, it is given particular expression in the local church for the benefit of every believer — including college students. Being a part of a local church is an incredible resource for you now, and learning to appreciate this resource during the college years will help prepare you for the post-college years when ongoing community and discipleship are critical! Join us as together we seek to appreciate the gift of a local church family.
