Epicenter - what is it?  

A 4-day gathering of hundreds of students from around the Northeast. A time of undistracted focus on Jesus. You will grow in your relationship with God through amazing worship, challenging teaching from the Bible, and practical equipping for living missionally in the world.  You will also grow through building deeper relationships with each other.  

Putting Jesus at the center and mobilizing students to be the epicenter of a "spiritual earthquake" on their campuses and to the nations...that's what Epicenter is about!  Check out this year's speakers and musical guests.   Top speakers from around the country will be pointing us to Jesus and calling us to follow Him.  The talented Andy Needham band will be leading some awesome worship through music and song.  Get a free download at their website and take a listen!  Specialty seminars outside of the main sessions will let you pick topics you'd like to explore more.  

As a result of Epicenter students leave motivated and prepared to serve their campuses and the world with Christ’s unlimited capacity to love.
