Recharge is an annual evangelism conference where we equip, educate and encourage believers in their 20s and 30s to declare, demonstrate and defend the gospel. Scholars and experts in the fields of theology, NextGen leadership, Bible interpretation and apologetics serve as general session speakers and breakout session facilitators. Participants will leave armed with information to become better witnesses for Christ both individually and through their local church.
