Pursue

Pursue exists to encourage and equip high schoolers in their pursuit of a life of ministry. Students sometimes struggle to navigate this unfamiliar world of vocational ministry. Good news! We can help. This event is perfect for any student interested in pursuing a career in…

• Youth Ministry
• Worship
• Preaching
• Children’s Ministry
• Missions

Pursue will be a weekend with like-minded students from all over the country who desire to devote their career to maximum kingdom impact. The weekend will feature worship, workshops, main sessions, and of course lots of fun. You’ll have a chance to interact with college students pursuing ministry, college ministry professors, and Christian ministry leaders.

No, this event is for individuals desiring to potentially pursue a career in some form of ministry or missions. You will have the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with other students just like you!

Housing is included in the registration! Pursue attendees will be staying in the dorms with a host student from Johnson University.
