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.
1630: engaging the next generation of leaders
Christian young adults across the country see what’s happening today in our nation and feel many things - apathy, anxiety, fear. Many more see where our culture is heading and have a desire to make an impact, but don’t know where to start. Our nation is increasingly deviating from Biblical values and social conservative views are seen as “outdated.” What is our purpose in life? Are young people called to make a difference? How do we make an impact in our nation?
