Helping the Rising Generation Feel Seen, Known, and Equipped in Christ

Pastors, parents, and educators can give students more than answers—they can give them a safe place to ask questions, build real relationships, and grow a lasting biblical worldview.

The rising generation is anxious, isolated, and searching for answers. Research shows only 1% of Gen Z has a biblical worldview, yet most don’t leave church over doctrine—they leave because they don’t feel seen, known, or equipped to live out their faith in real life. Pastors, parents, and educators can change that. By creating space for honest questions, modeling authentic discipleship, and connecting truth with relationship, we can help students discover lasting hope and confidence in Christ.

Free Book : Raising Gender Confident Kids

A free resource—thanks to generous Summit supporters.

Equip every parent in your church, school, and community to lead conversations about gender with biblical clarity and compassion. Request multiple copies for distribution. Share them at family events, parenting classes, or as a church-wide discipleship resource. Help your community stand in the gap for families and shape the next generation with truth and grace.

Maximize the Impact

When today’s culture pressures young Christians to doubt their faith, lose their voice, or drift with the crowd, Summit’s Student Conferences provide a two-week turning point. Summit’s Student Conferences equip 16 to 22-year-olds with the hope, clarity, and confidence they need to follow Jesus boldly in today’s world. For over 60 years, we have equipped students aged 16-22 to defend, own, and live out a biblical worldview.
