    eXperience Jesus

    June 23–28, 2025 | Moody Bible Institute, Chicago

     
    Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
    —John 14:6

    Empowering Teens to Know, Love, and Share Jesus

    Imagine a week where high school students encounter the living Christ, deepen their understanding of His Word, and learn to boldly share His truth. The eXperience Jesus (XJ) Conference is designed to do just that—equip youth pastors and their students with the tools and passion to transform lives.

    This unforgettable event intertwines a love for Jesus and the Bible with practical, hands-on training. Teens leave equipped to reach unsaved friends and family, while also strengthening believers around them in their walk with Christ.

    What You’ll Experience at XJ

    Each day is packed with training and experiences that will help you grow closer to Jesus and prepare you to share Him with others:

    • Anchor training: Deepen your faith by studying what it means to follow Christ and live out your faith according to God’s Word.
    • Evening celebrations: Be inspired to love Jesus passionately as you explore His “I am” statements in Scripture.
    • Net training: Learn to share Jesus with confidence, modeling His example of reaching others with love and truth.

    Life-Changing Ministry Opportunities

    During the week, students will step out in faith to share the gospel in the heart of Chicago. These hands-on ministry experiences not only impact those they meet but also equip students to return home with newfound confidence and evangelism skills.

    At XJ, students discover that the gospel isn’t just a message—it’s the person of Jesus Christ! As their hearts are changed by this truth, they’ll help ignite a disciple-making culture within their youth groups and beyond, sparking a life of mission!

    Accommodations and Meals

    Participants will stay in double-occupancy rooms on Moody’s downtown campus. Breakfast and dinner are provided daily, except for Thursday’s dinner, when students can explore Chicago’s dining scene at their own expense.
