The day will start with a spiritual conference complete with dynamic speakers, adoration, and more.

We will then close things out with communal night prayer, ready to take Christ back to our homes!

Featured Music – Damascus Worship
Damascus Worship is the worship movement of Damascus Mission, a community based in Central Ohio whose mission is to help bring revival to the Church.
That mission is at the core of everything Damascus Worship does. Whether writing and releasing songs to bring glory to God, leading events to bring people into an encounter with Jesus, or raising up the next generation of worship leaders, everything points back to that goal of seeing the Church come alive.
Jesus is worthy of everything, and it is the heart of Damascus Worship to give Him what He is due and help others do the same. Find their music here.
