OUR JOURNEY & MISSION
FROM ANNUAL TEENS SUMMIT (ATS)
TO YPS 1.0
Young People’s Summit (YPS 1.0) represents the evolution of the Annual Teens Summit (ATS). We are expanding the vision to support young people across vital developmental years — from ages 13 through 25 and above.
Our desire is to see young people rooted in Christ, living with purpose, and walking in the fullness of divine covenant in their studies, creative work, character, and daily life.
SUMMIT THEME
A NEW COVENANT
Hebrews 8:8–10
“For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah... I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.”
James 1:4
“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
