Where is SLC happening?

SLC is hosted at the beautiful campus of Colorado Christian University in Denver, Colorado.

Student Leader Conference will be June 22nd - 26th 2026.

Students, youth pastors, senior pastors, volunteers, and parents are all welcome to come to SLC.

Yes, you can bring groups! Youth pastors are encouraged to bring students. Parents are also welcome to bring students and their friends. All groups must have a ratio of 1 adult leader for every 5 students.

What if I'm still in school during the conference?

We recognize these dates won’t necessarily work for those of you still in school. This is something we are seriously taking into consideration for our 2027 conference. Parents, if your student is still in school but is passionate about attending SLC 2026, consider talking with teachers and administration to see if missing the last few days of school is possible. We hope to see you there, but also value your need to finish school strong!

Can I come even if my church isn’t coming?

Of course! Students are welcome to attend as long as they are incoming 8th graders through graduated seniors.

How much does it cost?

Our early bird pricing is $525.00 which lasts until February 28, 2026. Regular price is $600.00. Price for all adults (parents, youth pastors, and adult volunteers) is $450.00.

What does my fee cover?

Your registration fee covers lodging, meals, transportation to and from the airport, and transportation for any off-campus activities during the week.

How can I pay for the cost of the Conference?

In order to secure your spot, we require a $50 deposit. Once registered, you will have access to our online portal where you can make payments. The fee can be broken down into smaller payments, or you can pay the full fee all at once. All conference fees must be paid in full by May 23, 2026. If you need help raising your conference fees, we have tons of amazing resources to help you! Check out our fundraising resources for more information.

How do I get to Colorado?

While your conference fee covers transportation from the airport to campus, it does not include travel to Colorado. You are responsible for all travel expenses to get to Denver International Airport. We have great fundraising resources to help you hit your conference cost goal! Check them out in the link above or on the pricing page!

What airport do I fly into?

All attendees should fly into Denver International Airport (DEN).

What time should my flight arrive?

Anyone who needs transportation from the airport should arrive no later than 12pm MST. We will provide a shuttle to transport attendees to Colorado Christian University free of charge! This shuttle will depart from DEN airport at 2pm MST.

What time should my flight home be?

All flights for attendees who need a ride to the airport should depart no earlier than 3pm MST. We will provide a shuttle to transport attendees to the airport on the final day of the conference. The shuttle will depart CCU at 12:30pm MST.

Feel free to email any questions you have to conference@decisionpoint.org.

FUNDRAISING
TOOLS

We are so excited to have you join us this summer at our Student Leader Conference! We have put this simple tool together to help you approach fundraising in a biblical way, giving practical steps of how to do it well!

In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus teaches us that we don't have to be anxious about anything because God knows what we need, and is a good Father who can provide for us. He encourages us if we seek first the Kingdom of God, then all our needs will be provided for. Then later in Philippians 4:10-17, Paul thanks the church in Philippi for their provision, telling them that the fruit of his ministry increases because of their generous partnership. Between these two simple examples we can see that God provides for His people, and often does that through the Church.

LET'S BREAK IT DOWN!

1. PRAY

Begin by asking God to provide for your needs; ask Him to give you faith in His ability, and to move the hearts of those you will be talking to toward generosity.

2. ASK

Start asking your community of believers to help you get to SLC, where you will be equipped to share your faith with boldness and grow in your leadership. Check out the text & email templates linked below.

3. FOLLOW UP

Continue to be in communication with those you are asking; if you have not heard back from them for 1 week, reach out again! If you have questions about this or need help, text our Fundraising Helpline, and someone from our team will get back to you!

4. THANK

Make sure that you thank everyone you ask, regardless of how they responded; thank them personally and quickly. After SLC, be sure to share with them what you saw God do during the week!
