Partial registration is not available. We recommend registering and attending as much of the conference as your schedule will allow.
All tickets for this conference are general admission. Doors open 30 minutes prior to each session. There will be a number of seats saved for worship teams, guest speakers and large groups (40+). Any other seat-saving before the doors open is not allowed.
Due to safety concerns we do not allow adults into the building that is not a registered Gateway Student Conference volunteer or staff member. We require every adult working conference to have a background check. This is the best way for us to ensure your student is safe. Thank you for understanding.
If the conference is NOT sold out, at-the-door registration will be accepted at the At The Door rate.
While we would love for you to bring the students from your youth group, it�s not required to participate in the Youth Pastor Track. Please note you will still need to purchase tickets for each adult attendee.
Financial aid applications will be available to students currently attending Gateway Students on Wednesday nights beginning April 1, 2020. If you are in need of financial aid for a current Gateway Student, please contact his or her campus directly.
The meal wristband is available as an �add-on� to your ticket in Brushfire. Each meal wristband costs $35 and covers four meals (lunch and dinner on Thursday and lunch and dinner on Friday). These wristbands cover all meals and there is not another option for certain meal times only. If you purchased a meal wristband, you will receive it at check in. To pick up your meal, go to the meal pick up tent marked on your map and show the Food Crew your meal wristband.
If you bring 40 or more attendees, you qualify for reserved seating! After you register, we will send you an email to confirm that you would like to take advantage of group seating.
The registration fee covers conference admission only. Meals, hotel, and transportation are not included.
The Youth Pastor Track is available to guest youth pastors while your students are engaged in community groups with our staff. These 4 sessions are an opportunity to connect with each other and receive valuable behind-the-scenes time with our Gateway Students staff and conference speakers. When it comes time to leave the conference, we want guest youth pastors to feel refreshed, encouraged, and empowered to lead their students like never before! There is no additional cost for participation in the Youth Pastor Track sessions.
All tickets are transferable. Thank you for understanding that all payments are non-refundable for any reason, please click here to read our cancellation policy.
Last year we provided boxed meals that included BBQ sandwiches, Chickfila sandwiches, cheeseburgers and turkey sandwiches (all meals came with chips and a drink). Although we can�t guarantee specific meals, for GWSC20 we expect to serve similar meals. Unfortunately, we are not currently able to accommodate food allergies.
You should bring your Bible and money for meal purchases onsite or conference merchandise.
Casual attire is recommended. The auditorium is enclosed and air-conditioned. Because the temperatures may vary, we encourage wearing jeans and layered clothing. We suggest bringing a light jacket or hoodie. All of our activities will be indoors.
