What to Expect

Rooming

The rooms offer two queen beds each. We usually place four students per room. Stay together for check-in.

Gatherings and Workshops

There are four main “Gatherings:” Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday night, and Sunday morning. We must gather together as a group for these Gatherings. We want to be united and experience the conference together! 

The heart of the Jubilee Conference is the “Workshops,” one-hour breakout sessions on various vocations and issues. They are offered four times during the conference on Saturday and Sunday. Each of us will decide which workshops to attend, but you can go together in groups if you want! The workshops are described in the Jubilee App.

Bookstore, Exhibitors, and Late Night Opportunities

Be sure to check out the Hearts and Minds Bookstore, where Byron Borger offers an amazing (and huge) selection of books so that Christians can think about every issue, vocation, and topic (because, after all, THE GOSPEL – THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!).

Bring $25 to get a few books!

(Note: Byron is one of the few remaining independent booksellers in the country, and his Christian bookstore is unlike any other. He has served students for decades with this ministry, so I ask that you buy the books from him and not from Amazon. He is a dear friend of mine and a mentor. He, his wife Beth, and his staff will help you in any way he can to find the right book for you.)

There is also an Exhibitor’s Room, where you can learn about incredible opportunities and meet amazing people.

After you thought it was all finished, on Friday and Saturday nights there are Late-Night Opportunities for those who don’t treasure their sleep!

Meals

Bring some breakfast items for Saturday and Sunday mornings (maybe cereal bars, muffins, fruit, etc.).

Please bring money for for Friday dinner, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch. We will be eating with students from Kent State Main’s Late Night Christian Fellowship.

IMPORTANT: One of the key reasons for being at this conference (among many great reasons!) is to be united and to grow in our relationships. Therefore, the goal is for us to eat together for these meals! It will give us a chance to deepen our relationships with each other and hear the stories of what God is teaching us and how his Spirit is moving us.
