chasing meaning
The Life We Were Made For
A Call to Consecrate Your Life to Christ
We live in a world that tells us to create our own meaning. But so often, chasing success, relationships, experiences, or approval leaves us feeling exhausted, confused, and still wanting more.
At Spark 2026, we’ll explore why our culture’s promises fall short and how the good news of Jesus redefines what a truly meaningful life looks like.
Together, we’ll consider how life can be deeply purposeful and secure, both now and forever, in Christ.
