Bishop’s Rally is a gathering for all students across the Horizon Texas Conference, open to every church in our connection. We are grateful to First UMC Killeen for hosting this year’s event!
The afternoon will be filled with fun, faith, and fellowship, including:
-Large group games to connect with new and old friends
-Service project
-Modern worship
-Message from Bishop Ruben Saenz Jr.
-Scripture: Jeremiah 1:7
This year’s theme, Called, reminds us of God’s words to Jeremiah: “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and you shall speak whatever I command you” (Jeremiah 1:7). Just as Jeremiah was called as a young person, our students are called today—called to live as disciples, called to share their voices, and called to make a difference in the world around them.
Bishop’s Rally highlights the beauty of our connectional church, especially for confirmands and youth. Students will see that they are not just the future of the church—they are the NOW of the church. This event is a chance to listen to their voices, celebrate their gifts, and encourage both Gen Z and Gen Alpha with a message of inspiration and hope.
We encourage every youth to attend and experience this time together!
