Unite is the triennial youth conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church — a formative gathering that invites students into deeper faith, shared life, and God’s work in the world. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by the life of the church, Unite creates space for teaching, prayer, service, and joy. Students are called not only to belong — but to be sent.
Five unforgettable days of powerful worship, dynamic teaching, heartfelt prayer, high-energy activities, and meaningful service.
WHERE? Lincoln, Nebraska
The University of Nebraska’s walkable campus and large gathering spaces make it the ideal setting for Unite — a shared home for the week where students stay, worship, learn, and play together in one place.
Who can attend Unite? Students entering 9th grade through outgoing seniors attending Evangelical Covenant churches. Students must attend with a registered group from their local church.
What is the schedule like?Every day at Unite follows a full and intentional rhythm:
- Morning: Breakfast, Basecamps, and small group time
- Afternoon: Lunch, recreation, tournaments, breakouts, service, and free time
- Evening: Dinner, MainStage worship and teaching, youth group debrief
What does housing look like? Students and leaders are housed in air-conditioned university residence halls. Attendees are housed in designated areas by gender, with adult leaders in rooms on the same floor as their students. All participants are required to stay on campus. Residence hall directors are present throughout the day and students check in with them each night.
