You are sent.
The hard part is figuring out what that looks like for you.

Underneath the career questions and the major decisions and the next steps, there's a different question — the one that won't go away. Compelled is built around that one.

What We're Building

Not a conference about missions. A conference about what God is doing and how he is inviting you specifically to join him.

What is God calling me to? Not just what you'll do for work. What you're actually here for. A sense that God is doing something in the world and your life is supposed to connect to it — but you're not sure how, or where, or what that even looks like in practice.

That's not a lack of faith. That's an open door.

You've probably sat through a conference before and felt it. Something moved. And then a week passed. Then two. And somewhere between the normal rhythms of life and the distance from that room, the conviction started to slip. That gap is what Compelled is closing. Two days built around encounter with God, and then real structure for what comes after. Three tracks. A year-long cohort with a mentor who has spent their life living in your track. A first experience that allows you to test the calling.

The goal isn't to move you. It's to help you figure out what to do with the movement.

"As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." John 20:21

Every believer is already sent. We exist to help you figure out where.

Three Tracks

We help you discover the path God is calling you on and figure out how to walk it out.

At the conference close, you'll be invited to choose a track. Not a final answer. A first real step toward figuring out where you fit in the Great Commission.

Track 01

Global Mission

There are billions of people with no access to the gospel — no church in their language, no witness in their community. The task has a finish line and it isn't finished. If God is stirring something in you toward those people specifically, this is your track. You'll be paired with a mentor and invited on a mission trip.

Track 02

Marketplace Mission

Most of the world will only ever be reached by people who show up with a job title, not a ministry title. Your career is not separate from your calling — it is the vehicle for it. There are places in this world a ministry title will never open, but your job will. You'll be paired with a Christian entrepreneur or professional who is already living this.

Track 03

Occupational Ministry

If God is calling you toward pastoral ministry, campus work, church planting, or nonprofit leadership — not as a fallback, but as a conviction — this is your track. You'll be connected to a local leader and a place to begin serving.

None of these tracks is settling. The question is not are you sent? That's already answered. The question is where, and how.

What Comes After

The conference is just where it starts.

We're not trying to inspire you for a few days. We're building something designed to actually change the direction of your life. The two days are where the question gets named. The year is where you start walking toward the answer.

Reserve Your Spot
See Him

The Conference

Two days of main sessions, worship, and breakout sessions designed to awaken you to the wonder of who God is and what he is doing in the world.

Worship at the conference
Know Him

The Cohort

Monthly gatherings led by a trained local leader. Mentors who have lived their life in the track you are exploring. A community to process what you heard and figure out your next steps together.

Cohort gathering
Follow Him

The First Step

A tangible experience in your track. A trip, a connection, a real thing that tests the calling and moves you forward.

Who Should Come

Wherever you are, if you're asking the question, you belong here.

Young adults in conversation

Finishing High School

You haven't picked a direction yet, but you know God is inviting you into something. If you want to start figuring out what to do with your life, this is a good place to start asking.

In College

A degree is coming and the question of what to actually do with your life is louder than ever. Come get some clarity before you graduate into the fog.

In the Workforce

You're not sure if your job is your calling or if something needs to change. What you are sure of is that your work and your faith are connected somehow. This conference exists to help you figure out how.

Registration

Agencies & Ministries

We're building a room full of young adults looking for next steps. We want you in it.

We'll have a limited number of booth spaces for sending agencies, mission organizations, campus ministries, nonprofits, and churches who want to connect directly with attendees exploring their track.

Every attendee is invited to commit to a track. Many of those will align with what your organization does. They won't just walk away with your information. They will carry it into a year-long cohort with a trained mentor walking alongside them. Your organization can be one of the next steps in that process.

Express Interest in a Booth

Every attendee is invited to commit to a track and enter a year of guided next steps. Many of those tracks will align with your ministry. Your organization can be part of what comes next for them.

Also looking for

Speakers. Cohort mentors. Track leaders. If you're a practitioner, a missionary, marketplace professional, or ministry leader who wants to invest in the next generation, we want to talk.
