It’s official… ASCENT is coming back in 2027!

Mark your calendars, tell your youth group, start the countdown, and maybe begin mentally preparing yourself for unlimited Pepsi.

📅 June 26–30, 2027
📍 The Crossing Retreat Center — Lexington, Nebraska

After an incredible ASCENT 2026, we’re heading back to The Crossing for another week of worship, community, ridiculous amounts of fun, and seeing what God does when students and leaders from across the USMB family come together.

But… ASCENT 2027 won’t look exactly the same.  We’re already working on some BIG surprises—including plans to take everyone OFF CAMPUS for one of our afternoons! Where are we going? What are we doing?

Yeah… we’re not telling you yet.

MORE IS COMING IN NOVEMBER!

This November, we’ll start pulling back the curtain on ASCENT 2027, including:

• Our 2027 speaker
• A possible band announcement
• Our nightly themes
• And more surprises we’re not ready to talk about yet!

And speaking of nightly themes… we need your ideas!

Head over to @USMBNEXTGEN on social media and send us your best ideas for an ASCENT nightly theme. If we choose yours, you’ll win a $25 Amazon gift card!

So start brainstorming. The funnier, weirder, or more creative, the better.

For now, there’s only one thing you need to do:

SAVE. THE. DATE.

ASCENT 2027

We seriously can’t wait to see you there.

See you at ASCENT 2027!
