Meet-Ups are held twice a year in locations across the country, bringing program directors and teachers together to strengthen one another in ministry. Led by LifeWise program leaders, these times of fellowship provide space to build connections, exchange practical ideas, and encourage one another in reaching students with the gospel. Whether through impact stories, fresh insight for daily challenges, or renewed vision of the big picture, Meet-Ups are designed to refresh, equip, and inspire those serving on the front lines.

A: If you are volunteering to host an in-person Meet-Up, both a program director and a LifeWise-certified teacher must be identified and willing to host at the same location. For a virtual Meet-Up, either a program director or a LifeWise-certified teacher may host independently, as virtual Meet-Ups are hosted separately.
