We come to the Edge Conference each year because it is a life changing weekend for those that attend and they are fed the Word of God and it is not watered down. It’s like the Word of God says in Proverbs “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Our youth ask me each year to come back. — Michael, Student Pastor
One Price For All: $250 per Person. For our grand finale year you only pay one price regardless of your registration date. Limited space available. All registrations, rooming lists, and full payment must be postmarked on or before the registration closing date of December 7, 2026.
I started The EDGE 25 years ago to provide an affordable, high-quality worship and discipleship weekend for students and youth leaders. I would love to give you a rundown of the conference — just call me at 615-599-5595 and let's chat.
Now, you might be wondering: What makes this conference unique?
Easy! Here are my top 5 reasons you'd want to bring your group:
Two times during the weekend your students participate in smaller group Bible studies to go deeper into the Word. Plus, our speakers don't water down the gospel. They speak truth from the Bible in a way that engages students to deepen their relationship with Christ.
It's not just for students. Your leaders (volunteers and staff) will get in-depth, practical training to reach and disciple today's generation of students.
The conference is big enough to offer top-notch speakers, musicians, artists, and staffers, but they all still want to connect with your students personally. It feels like family here — which is why many groups come back year after year!
Everyone stays right next to the conference activities. No driving back and forth all weekend.
We work out the logistics so you can focus on your students. When you arrive, you're all checked in, Bible studies are counted out, and everything's scheduled. Just let us know you're here and enjoy the weekend.
The conference happens each year in Ridgecrest, NC over MLK weekend in mid-January. I'd love to have you join us this winter!

The EDGE Student & Leaders Conference is held at Ridgecrest Conference Center in beautiful Ridgecrest, NC (near Asheville). Experience large group worship sessions, small group Bible studies, and late-night activities nestled in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. Let the distractions from everyday life fall away so you can focus on what truly matters.
I have never been to a conference where the leaders cared so much about the pastors, leaders, and students. From the people opening up the doors, to the band, or even the entertainment acts, they are leading Bible studies and hanging around to interact with people throughout the weekend. I also have never been to a conference that seeks to challenge the leaders just as much as the students. It is the conference for the ENTIRE student ministry! — Tanner, Student Pastor
Make lasting memories that will impact your students for years to come while equipping your staff and volunteers with top-notch youth ministry training for this generation of students.
