FIre-Up 2023 was the 27th year of the event. It was held February 24-26, 2023. Most groups were here on Friday and Saturday, and about 40% of them stayed for Sunday morning. Due to planning the speaker and schedule 18 months prior, we hadn’t included Sunday originally but threw it in last minute to get back to that schedule. The total attendance of everyone was about 150 people.

Students responded in worship, kids stood and prayed for salvation, small groups were amazing and the overall presence of God’s spirit was evident. A big thanks to the prayer team who prayed during the weekend.

STORIES & TESTIMONIES

I attended the first Fire Up as a sophomore in high school and attended the 20th as a volunteer. I had just as much fun at the 20th as I did the 1st. GREAT JOB HARVEST! Look forward to helping next year.  -MC

And so the question of the day is….how do I get these Harvest songs out of my head?? – RM

FIRST FIRE UP – 1997

I don’t normally post on here about religion and whatnot because I know some of my friends don’t want to have it shoved down their throat, but if you’ve ever wondered about what happens after you die or how the universe was created and such, I want to invite you to come to the fire-up high school conference at my church. It’s an awesome weekend of music, inspirational speaking, and hanging out with people. Please don’t let this pass by if you are interested!! It would be awesome if you came and I would be happy to answer any questions you have about it!! Or feel free to click this link http://www.fire-up.org and check it out for yourself!!  -CS
