For those of you who’ve come to P2C PLUS in the past, if you split the cost of 1 room (with the two, regular double-beds) between 4 people, then each person will get 4 nights of stay for the price of 1. Don’t worry, it’s easy!

Alternatively, you may book your own accommodations elsewhere (such as Airbnb).

Main Sessions

+

Our main sessions are designed to inspire and challenge attendees in their faith journey through corporate worship, and listening to gospel-centered, well-recognized speakers, and theologians. We also use the sessions to praise and worship God, with the help of local worship bands, as a corporate body.

This year, we will be adding speaker panels to our main sessions to facilitate discussion with attendees, celebrate diversity in opinion and perspective, and consider a wide range of Christian views on selected topics.

Workshops

+

Our workshops encourage students to take a deep dive into a broad range of focused topics that intersect faith and culture like: leadership and mentorship, spiritual growth and disciplines, prayer, discernment, discipleship, evangelism in local and global contexts, personal growth, relationships, mental health, gender identity, addictions, trauma, shame, suffering, grief and loss, healing, health, humanization, racism, world religions, financial stewardship, hospitality, vocation, technology and design, creativity, apologetics, and the church.

The Hub

+

This year we will be introducing a central engaging and interactive space where attendees (throughout the conference) can connect with each other and our diverse group of partners, grab some snacks and drinks, take time to reflect, rest and relax, and have fun! Including…

  • 3D Photo Booth
  • Interactive Art Display
  • Lounges
  • Busking and Spoken Word
  • Video Wall
  • Hot Drinks
  • Charging Stations
  • Wifi

Mealtime Connections

+

Unique meal experiences connecting interested youth and young adults with kingdom-centered opportunities.

We’ll be hosting an Alumni Dinner for reconnecting short-term missions trip groups, an Explore Dinner to introduce attendees to long-term career opportunities with partners at P2C PLUS, a Missions Luncheon to challenge and empower youth and young adults to respond to the urgent need for the gospel globally, and a Youth Luncheon held exclusively for youth attending the first day of our conference.

Visual Art & Busking Opportunities

+

New Year’s Eve Party

+

Tragedy and devastation have hit our once joyful new years eve party! There. Has. Been. A. Great. Crime. The suspects are at large and roaming our conference. It’s up to us to find them, the object, and the room it took place in (got the CLUE?). Was it the DJ in the mini-stick hockey tournament room with the sword of the Spirit? How about a staff member in the karaoke room with a selfie stick they found at the insta-worthy photo booth? And if mysteries are not your thing come anyways for the board games, video games, and a vague large scale fun thing. Did we also mention it will be fun?
