Shaweh 2026 Conference - The CALL

YOU FELT IT. That quiet pull. That thing inside you that keeps saying there is more — more purpose, more direction, more life than what you are currently living.

That is not random. That is a call.

And this July, Houston is answering it.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT IS THE SHAWEH CONFERENCE?

The Shaweh Conference: The Call is a FREE two-day experience for every young adult in Houston — whether you grew up in church, never stepped foot in one, or somewhere in between.

Shaweh Hour has spent years building spaces where young adults from over 30 nationalities come together to grow spiritually, professionally, and personally. We have awarded over $3,000 in scholarships, been recognized by the Mayor of Houston with an official Shaweh Hour Day, and partnered with the University of Houston–Downtown to serve this city's next generation.

The Call is our biggest moment yet.

This is not your average conference. This is not a church service. This is not a lecture.

It is two days of encounter, real talk, community, resources, a fashion show, a live scholarship giveaway, prizes, free food, and an encounter with the kind of purpose that changes the direction of your life.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This conference was built for you if :

• You are a young adult ages 14–35 in Houston who feels like you were made for something greater but cannot quite name what it is.
• You are a college student carrying anxiety, financial pressure, and the weight of being the first in your family to figure it all out.
• You have been in church your whole life but you are tired of the performance and you need something real.
• You have never been to church and honestly do not plan to — but something about this feels different and you want to see for yourself.
• You are a young professional who has the career but still feels empty and you know purpose is not a job title.
• You are a high schooler who is just trying to figure out who you are and you need a room where that is okay.
• You are the friend who knows someone who needs this and you are bringing them with you.
• Whoever you are — you belong here.

No dress code. No offering. No pressure. No membership pitch. Just a room full of Houston's next generation and a God who called every single one of them.
