At Urbana 25, Gen Z will be invited to see firsthand what is happening in the Christian church globally and discover their role in it all. This gathering, hosted by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, has a rich history of mobilizing generations of students and young adults to serve Christ in every context—whether in their local communities or across the world. For the first time, at this Urbana, all of the students will be Gen Z.
“Gen Z is stepping into the future of global missions in a way we’ve never seen before. Their passion for Jesus, authenticity, and creativity make them uniquely equipped to take the Gospel to the ends of the Earth and tackle the challenges of our time,” said Mark Matlock. “Urbana 25 is an opportunity to witness what God is doing around the world and discover how you’re uniquely designed to be part of His story.”
Urbana 2025 is designed for young adults (ages 17-28) and their leaders who are interested in discovering their place in God’s mission. This is a unique opportunity for Gen Z to connect with the global church, wrestle with big questions of faith and calling, and be equipped to make a difference.
Registration for Urbana 25 is now open. Space is limited, so early sign-ups are encouraged. Pricing will increase on May 17.
