All About Our Story
In 2021, two small youth ministries located in Austin Texas became aware that their city was missing something regarding youth ministry. There was a sense of individuality between youth ministries that seemed anti-relational. This was a problem, and needed a solution. They decided that it was time to create a weekend of connection, resource and spiritual experience for every youth ministry in their respective area.
Since that moment, Collide has seen over 17 different youth ministries join together over the past few years. The fruit has been incredible, as students have united together to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt.28:19), changing their respective communities. The Collide team hopes that the same unity that began in Austin in 2021 would begin to reach into every city in the world. However, we cannot achieve this goal by ourselves. Fortunately, we don’t have to. To accomplish the vision the Lord has given our team, we need you.
Our Vision
The conference offers teaching, services and worship experiences; but these elements are not the sole purpose behind this student experience. Although these moments are powerful, the backbone of Collide is simple: practical ministry training for the next generation. The elements of the conference are all designed to improve students outward ministry capabilities. Students will learn to achieve this goal through various outlets, such as teachings regarding the communication of a simple gospel presentation, or even how a student should begin the process of sharing their faith in Jesus.
Our Mission.
Collide Conference’s vision is to unite ministries, regardless of their differences, to empower and equip students to fulfill the Great Commission.
We believe that the next generation has a unique opportunity to impact their schools, family, and friends. The next generation is equipped with resources and tools that no other generation has ever been blessed with, and we desire to teach students to use these tools for the Kingdom.
