Knowing Him and
Making Him Known

Being known by God is a gift for all mankind, but knowing Him is something we choose as we follow the Spirit’s leading. Once we know Him, the natural by-product is we want to make Him known. Join us December 28-31, 2026, in Cincinnati, OH, as we encounter and experience Jesus and share His love with others.

Conference 26

FOLLOW Conference is a three-day international gathering primarily for youth and young adults, with focused tracks for lay and clergy adults who serve them in church, district or university settings.
Paul says in Ephesians 1:16-19a “I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.” That is our prayer for every participant.
Come gather and grow as you are equipped by some leading practitioners from all over the world. Register as a family or team; there is programming for anyone ages 12 and up. For over 60 years this conference has been transforming lives, and we don’t plan to stop now.
