MAY 7-8, 2027 | Pathway Church, Gresham, OR

STUCO (Student Conference) is an annual gathering of students from churches across the Northwest, designed to challenge and encourage the next generation to grow in their faith and live boldly for Jesus. It's also a great opportunity for students who are searching or have questions about faith to clearly hear the Gospel.

The theme for STUCO '27 is “Not My Jesus.” In a world where people often try to shape Jesus into who they want Him to be, we want students to discover who Jesus really is according to Scripture. Our desire is to challenge students to move beyond a Jesus of their own making and follow the true Jesus revealed in God's Word.

We're excited to welcome Shane Pruitt, Next Gen Director and author of Not My Jesus, as our featured speaker!

What is STUCO?

STUCO is a student conference designed to help middle and high school students grow in their faith, build meaningful relationships, and encounter the life-changing hope of Jesus. Through engaging teaching, powerful worship, and intentional moments of connection, students will be challenged to live out a faith that works in their everyday lives.

Throughout the conference, the gospel will be clearly presented, inviting students to understand who Jesus is, what He has done for them, and how they can respond in faith. Whether a student is exploring faith for the first time or growing deeper in their walk with Christ, STUCO is a space to ask honest questions, experience community, and take next steps with Jesus.
