Make plans today to attend FIRE in Des Moines, Iowa, from May 1-3. This will be a time of teaching, preaching, worship, and fellowship with fellow Victory Leaders.

This rally will offer a variety of practical and doctrinal classes, such as being faithful for God in public school and college, overcoming fear and anxiety, using God’s gifts, the resurrection, the Bible as the Word of God, small youth group effectiveness, and more. With a variety of classes to choose from, there is something for everyone, allowing every young person to decide which class best fits their needs.
