    eXperience Jesus
    Empowering Teens to Know, Love, and Share Jesus

    June 22–27, 2026 | Moody Bible Institute, Chicago

    A Week Your Teen Will Never Forget

    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 blends 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 filled with worship, learning, and real-world application designed to help students grow closer to Jesus and share Him with others:

    • Anchor training: Deepen your faith through biblical teaching on what it means to follow Christ and live according to His Word.
    • Evening celebrations: Be inspired to love Jesus more passionately as you hear from God’s Word.
    • Net training: Gain confidence in sharing your faith by following Jesus’ example of reaching others with love and truth.

    Students at eXperience Jesus, a youth conference from Moody Conferences

    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 experiences don’t just impact the people they meet—they transform the students themselves, giving them the confidence and skills to live out the gospel wherever they go.

    At XJ, students discover that the gospel isn’t just a message—it’s a person: Jesus Christ. As their hearts are changed by this truth, they return home ready to ignite a disciple-making movement within their youth groups and beyond.

    Accommodations and Meals

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

    The XJ conference is sponsored by Sonlife and Moody Bible Institute.
