WHAT IS PASSION?

PASSION IS A GENERATION IGNITED FOR THE FAME OF JESUS.

From its start in 1995, the Passion movement has a singular mission—calling students and leaders from campuses across the nation and cities around the world to live for what matters most. For them, what matters most is the name and renown of Jesus. They believe in this generation and are watching God use them to change the climate of faith around the globe.

This wave is growing into a global awakening living for the name of Jesus. Join the movement.

The Conference has a stellar line-up of speakers and musicians.

Leading the Way: LOUIE + SHELLEY GIGLIO / SADIE + CHRISTIAN HUFF / PASSION MUSIC

Special Guests: CROWDER, CHRISTINE CAINE, KARI JOBE, CODY CARNES, JACKIE HILL PERRY, ELEVATION WORSHIP, KATHERINE WOLF, SEAN CURRAN, BEN STUART, JONATHAN POKLUDA and more to come!
