Official Week Recap of ARISE 2026

About this sermon

ARISE 2026 | Official Recap What a week. For four unforgettable days, thousands of teenagers, young adults, youth pastors, and leaders gathered in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, with one purpose—to lift up the name of Jesus. From powerful worship and life-changing preaching to late-night conversations, new friendships, and countless moments only God could orchestrate, Arise 2026 was a week we'll never forget. This year's theme, Next Level, challenged an entire generation to take the next step in their faith, leadership, and commitment to Christ. Throughout the week, nearly 300 decisions for Christ were made as students responded to the Gospel and lives were forever changed. Whether you were in the room or are experiencing Arise for the first time, we hope this recap reminds you of what God did and encourages you to keep moving forward. This wasn't just another conference. This was a generation choosing to live for something greater. We'll see you next year at ARISE 2027: PURSUIT. #Arise2026 #NextLevel #Arise2027 #Pursuit #CTTownsend #YouthConference #JesusChangesLives
