Welcome to our Youth Ministry Page for the East Coast Conference
UNITE 2027
WHO CAN ATTEND UNITE? Students entering 9th grade through outgoing seniors attending Evangelical Covenant churches. Students must attend with a registered group from their local church.
WHAT IS UNITE? Unite is the Evangelical Covenant Church’s triennial youth conference — a formative gathering that invites thousands of high school students into deeper faith, shared life, and God’s work in the world. With over 70 years of history (dating back to 1956 as CHIC), Unite has catalyzed significant spiritual moments in the lives of tens of thousands of teenagers. It’s more than an event — it’s a movement that calls students not only to belong, but to be sent.
WHEN and WHERE is UNITE 2027? Unite 2027 takes place July 18–23, 2027 at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska.
WHERE: Salisbury University’s campus (Salisbury, Maryland)
WHY: an opportunity to grow closer to God and your youth group!

- Morning: Breakfast, Basecamps, and small group time
