In 2006, a group of youth pastors in Knoxville began to dream about an event that would energize and unify the students of their city. The MERGE concept was born!

While finding youth ministers working together isn't completely unheard of, it is unique. None of us are trying to "steal" each others students, none of us are in it to make a name for ourselves. We simply want to help our students see that they are not alone, and we hope to harness the synergy of multiple churches pushing one event.

MERGE draws from the "Disciple Now" and "YEC" concepts to form an event that is both evangelistic and discipleship oriented, with an emphasis on service as well! Fellowship and worship are also built in. Join us and experience the excitement of all that God is doing!
