Thousands of youth gathered in Knoxville, Tennessee for CHIC (Covenant High in Christ) for small group Bible study and devotion, large gatherings with speakers and music, and outdoor recreation.
North Park was a primary sponsor of the 2018 conference, with a large group of admissions staff, athletic coaches, faculty members, students, and President Mary Surridge in attendance.
“CHIC is a special place for everyone,” says Emma Lundeen Woodley C’15 G’17, Covenant admissions recruiter at North Park. “It is incredible to witness transformational change in young lives as they experience Christ dynamically. We know that this one-week conference is an extraordinary and unforgettable experience that students will carry with them forever. We feel honored to be involved.”
Throughout the week, North Park staff spent face-to-face time with CHIC students in their base camps, at prayer meetings, and main-stage gatherings, and handed out free North Park gear. During free time, staff could be found at The Nest (a central hangout location), where they were busy making thousands of snow cones as well as connecting with students and youth pastors to talk about North Park.
North Park offers two special scholarships amounting to $3,000/year: The Evangelical Covenant Church Scholarship is awarded to any student who is Covenant-Church-affiliated; the Legacy Scholarship is available to students whose parent(s)/guardian(s)attended North Park. Students are eligible for only one of the awards.
