Elevate is Designed...
for those high school students who want to take the next step in their spiritual journeys with Jesus Christ. Elevate combines traditional large-group worship and teaching sessions with small-group electives, all within the beautiful nature environment of Hidden Acres Christian Center. The conferences schedule is flexible enough to accommodate a large high school youth ministry that brings a formal leadership team or a smaller group that brings just a few who desire to know and serve their Savior on a deeper and more fulfilling level. Elevate is designed with your needs in mind.

Eternal. Everlasting. Without end. This is what its all about. Our lives dont end at death. Our ministry doesnt end. The consequences of who we are and what we do will ripple down through the corridors of eternity. So what is your life about? Is it about right now? Is it about what happens after graduation? Or is it about FOREVER?

Oh that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children FOREVER! - Deuteronomy 5:29
