What is IGNITE Weekend?
IGNITE is a powerful weekend at GraceLife Church where students can ignite and deepen their relationship with Jesus, make good friends, connect with leaders, and have fun! We will have worship, messages, LifeGroups, games, and more!
THEME
At IGNITE 2026, we will rally behind Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT “God saved you by his grace when you believed… For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus...” We believe that GraceLife Youth is created with purpose as God’s masterpiece. Our desire is for students to strengthen their identity in Christ as they believe Jesus is enough, they are enough in Christ, and they can say enough to the lies of the enemy!

FAQs
Are students allowed to have their phones during the weekend?
Yes, but we desire students to experience a distraction free environment with deep personal connections. We will ask that students do not use their phones during sessions or activities. Parents will be provided the student’s leader's phone number in case of an emergency.
Are students staying in Host Homes this year?
No, students will be picked up and dropped off each day. As we’ve grown, we want to create the safest and most effective spaces for God to move and students’ lives to be changed. We will have a High School hangout Friday and Saturday night to create additional spaces for students to make godly friendships and connect with their leaders! Additionally, drop off time Friday and Saturday allows for all students and leaders to connect and build relationships!
When are the students being fed?
Students will eat a full meal Friday night, Saturday lunch and Saturday night. We will provide a grab and go breakfast snack bar Saturday morning as well.
Do meals accommodate allergies and dietary needs?
Yes. Please include all allergies and dietary needs in your registration form to best accommodate your student. We can accommodate vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten free meals.
What if my student is not able to attend the whole weekend?
Even if your student is not able to attend all of IGNITE, we would still love to have them be a part of it as much as possible. If a student is arriving late, or leaving early, we would simply need a TIME AWAY FORM filled out before March 8 to be able to coordinate drop off and pick up.
