HARVEST WORSHIP BAND

Harvest has led worship for every Fire-Up Conference since 1996. Harvest connects ministry-minded young adult musicians to form worship teams for camps, conferences and other events. [Hear Music]

ELECTIVE SEMINARS

There are two time slots during the Fire-Up Conference when students can choose a seminar to attend. These seminars are practical ways to live out faith and seminar leaders will be announced soon!

HOUSING

Housing is on your own for Fire-Up. There are great motels just one mile from the host church (on the same road) and some groups opt for budget-friendly options like staying in a local church somewhere. If your group is from the local area, it can be nice to stay together in a couple homes of church members to give it more of a retreat/conference feel.

AFTERNOON OPTIONS

On Saturday afternoon, there is a break for some fun. Lots of students take the 15 minute drive to Southern Illinois University where Fire-Up reserves the bowling ally. Other groups just find fun things to do together around town.

YOUTH WORKER DETAILS

Fire Up Conference, an interdenominational Sr. High youth discipleship weekend, began in Troy, IL in February of 1997. Since then, hundreds of students have attended this event. Fire Up continues to remain focused on discipleship, worship, and strengthening the faith of Sr. High Students. At the core, we want students to be born again, count the cost and follow Christ and live faithful fired-up live for Jesus.  The core team consists of local area youth leaders who meet each month to pray, plan and prepare for Fire Up.

Fire Up is a partnership event with Troy United Methodist Church and Harvest Conferences. The Troy Host Team plans the event through the fall. They provide support for registration, hospitality, meals, video, sound and a big huge welcome to all the groups that attend!

Fire Up continues to provide an avenue for changed lives.

More than fifteen different denominations have been a part of Fire-Up Conference. Here’s are some of the basics of what we believe: The Great Commandment, The Great Commission and the Apostles Creed.
