Breakouts

One of the best parts of One Day is diving deeper into what Jesus has planned for our lives! Every student will attend three breakouts: two of your choice and one designed for everyone. The third breakout focuses on how God is present in our schools and is tailored to your grade—Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors each have their own session. Get ready for a day of taking next steps in your faith.
You will have an opportunity to pick which breakouts you would like to attend during the registration process. 

 

Breakout Options

1. God is with you… Even in your anxiety

Life can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. In this breakout, we’ll talk about how God’s presence brings peace in the midst of worry and practical ways to trust Him through anxious moments.

2. God is with you… Even in your decisions

From big life choices to everyday decisions, navigating what’s next can be tough. This breakout will explore how to invite God into your decision-making and seek His wisdom for your future.

3. God is with you… Even on your teams

Whether you’re on the field, in the band, or part of a group project, God wants to work in and through you. Discover how His presence can shape your interactions and leadership as a team member.

4. God is with you… Even in your struggles

Everyone faces hard times, but you don’t have to walk through them alone. In this session, we’ll unpack how God meets us in our struggles and brings hope, healing, and strength.

5. God is with you… Even right now

Sometimes it’s easy to feel like God is distant, but the truth is He’s with you in every moment. Join us as we explore how to experience God’s presence and purpose in your life right now.
