Northridge Young Adults Conference
SURGE is our annual one-day young adult conference—a day filled with dynamic speakers, amazing worship, and some quality fellowship time. If you're a young adult looking to grow in your faith, this event is not to be missed!
In a world of hurry, restlessness, and constant striving, we’re often chasing things we hope will finally satisfy.
What will bring us wholeness, fulfillment, meaning, and life?
We’re told they’re found in what we achieve, accomplish, or experience.
But if we’re honest… It’s not really working, is it?
Even when we reach what we’ve been chasing, something still feels empty.
So we keep trying to generate life within ourselves, or find it in places that leave us drier.
But Jesus offers a different invitation:
To abide. To remain. To stay connected to the true source of life.
And from that connection, life begins to bear real fruit—for the glory of God and the good of others.
What if you’ve been trying to live disconnected from what you need most?
This is the invitation.
Abide.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
SURGE is specifically and exclusively for those that are 18-30’s who identify as a young adult. We believe that young adults are the movers and shakers of our world and they deserve more than a pizza party once every few months. SURGE is meant to be an encouraging, inspiring, equipping and challenging one day conference for those who call themselves followers of Jesus — no matter the cost. We are raising the bar on young adults as we join the swell and stirring of a movement that’s bigger than any one person could accomplish. We want YOU to join the SURGE.
