The heart behind Z8

Faith that reaches beyond a night.

Z8 exists to awaken and empower the next generation to live boldly for Jesus.

See Z8 in action.

We bring students and young adults together across churches and communities to encounter Christ through worship, teaching, and relationships.

Our hope is that what begins at a gathering continues in everyday life—as young people grow in faith, serve others, and share the Gospel wherever they go.
