The Kairos Summit is a 5-day trip for juniors and seniors. It’s time away together to experience Kairos culture and to talk about mission, leadership, the call of The Sword of the Spirit, and the big question: what comes next? The Summit contains typical retreat elements such as talks and worship, along with outdoor adventure activities.

The aim is to help youth understand their community heritage, what opportunities lie before them, and to call them on to radical, lifelong discipleship. Because of this, the Kairos staff believe this is the most important event we produce!

Youth will find the content to be of a deeper and more serious nature than on other Kairos trips, as we will discuss the call of discipleship and help them prepare to launch into their post high school years. We offer this trip for both juniors and seniors in the hopes that all our high schoolers can attend at least once.

The 4 Goals of the Kairos Summit

1. Help youth transition from highschool, and connect to what is next for them
2. Present a strong and radical call to discipleship
3. Share the vision and prophetic call of The Sword of the Spirit
4. Highlight key elements of our way of life: morning and night prayer, celebrating The Lord's Day, household life, and charismatic worship
