PASSION 2026 CONFERENCE
Last week, more than 45,000 18-25-year-olds gathered together for the Passion 2026 Conference in Arlington, Texas. From its start in 1995, the Passion movement has had a singular mission, calling students and leaders from campuses across the nation and cities around the world to live for what matters most, the name and renown of Jesus. If you haven't seen it on social media, our Senior Pastor Cliffe Knechtle, was a guest speaker, and invited to answer some of the hundreds of questions posed by attendees.
