1630 washington, d.c. trip 2025
From July 12–16, 2025, forty-eight young Christian leaders ages 18–30 gathered in Washington, D.C. for the 1630 trip—a powerful and purposeful experience designed to equip the next generation for civic and spiritual engagement. Representing 21 states and coming from diverse backgrounds and denominations, the group explored key landmarks including the Museum of the Bible, a guided monuments tour, the National Archives, the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, and the Holocaust Museum. Along the way, they heard directly from Congressmen and U.S. Senators who shared how their faith has shaped their time in public service. The trip not only deepened participants’ understanding of America’s history and government but also encouraged them to consider how their own faith might influence the way they lead and engage in today’s world.
1630 leadership retreat 2025
We kicked off the summer with the very first 1630 Leadership Retreat—an unforgettable weekend dedicated to equipping and encouraging young leaders ages 16–30. Designed for those already stepping into leadership roles, this retreat is a time set apart for prayer, worship, teaching, and deep fellowship. What makes it truly unique is our commitment to letting the Holy Spirit lead every part of the experience. Each attendee receives personal prayer, worship is heartfelt and Spirit-filled, and the teaching is focused on cultivating a biblical worldview and practical leadership skills.
why gen z could be the revival generation
A powerful and unexpected movement has been taking place among young people. Bible sales are on the rise, young men are returning to church, and Gen Z is showing a renewed interest in stable homes and traditional values.
next-generation participation critical in America’s elections
It is increasingly evident that the next generation must actively shape the political landscape and get involved — as soon as possible. Engaging Christian young people in our governmental process is not just wisdom; it is a moral imperative grounded in our faith. We must pass on what we know to those who follow us.
