About this Event
Fire Up Conference is a discipleship weekend designed for students in grades 9-12 and their leaders. It is held each February in Troy, IL.
This fantastic weekend has become a great combination of a conference with a retreat, and it is now celebrating its 30th year! The weekend includes times of worship with the Harvest Band, preaching, small groups, seminars, meals, and activities!
Fire-Up is an affordable event for the students in your church (and all the friends they can invite). We pray that students will encounter Christ and experience his grace.
Delvin Pikes, from Nashville, TN, will be speaking over the weekend.
The registration fee covers the program, refreshments, lunch and dinner on Saturday and a free t-shirt for those registered by the early deadline (2/17/26).
