MLK Weekend | Gatlinburg, TN

What Is Elevate?

Elevate is a Student Ministry Conference started in 2011 in Gatlinburg, TN. It is a high-energy, relationally- structured weekend that includes speaker, worship, small-group time, and plenty of fun stuff to do. The majority of our attendees take this opportunity to ski or snowboard, however, we have many who choose to spend their free time in the immensely entertaining city of Gatlinburg instead!
