FAQs

Childcare will not be provided at the church during the conference.

We encourage you to bring a Bible, a notebook, and a pen.

Q: Will there be any extra fees, or does my Registration Fee cover everything like meals and snacks?

All meals and snacks are included in your Registration Fee, so you will not need to purchase any meals. However, if you are a latte lover, you may want to bring some extra money to purchase a specialty coffee beverage from the Highlands Cafe. Regular and Decaf brewed coffee will be provided free of charge. Additionally, Ignite merchandise will be available to purchase.

Q: Do I have to register now, or can I do it at the door?

The Ignite Conference 2011 sold out and we anticipate a capacity crowd for this year's conference. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to register early as we may not be able to offer same day registration. Additionally, we will mail a conference wristband to everyone who registers before February 11th. The wristband will serve as your "admission ticket" into Ignite, so you will NOT have to check in at the Registration Center when you arrive- you can go straight into the Main Auditorium. No lines, no waiting!!

Absolutely! Church membership and completion of the Growth Track are not required to attend the Ignite Conference.
