Montgomery, Ala. – Christian college students seeking deeper faith and fellowship will converge at Alabama State University’s Acadome for the FOR CHRIST Conference, scheduled September 17‑19. The event, organized by local faith leaders, is open to all students, though it was originally designed with historically Black college and university (HBCU) attendees in mind.
Free registration encourages broad participation
While the conference is free of charge, organizers ask participants to register in advance to help with planning and seating. Registration can be completed online through the conference’s website, where attendees will also find a full schedule of worship services, biblical teaching sessions, and small‑group discussions.
Program highlights
Conference speakers include Pastor Chris Searcy of Fresh Anointing House of Worship, who will lead a keynote address on living out Christian convictions on campus. Additional sessions will cover topics such as prayer, discipleship, and how to integrate faith into academic life. Musical worship will feature local Christian bands, providing a lively atmosphere for students to connect with one another.
Community focus
Organizers emphasize that the gathering is more than a series of lectures; it is an opportunity for students to build lasting relationships rooted in shared belief. “We want young believers to find a supportive community where they can grow spiritually and academically,” said a conference coordinator. The event also includes a service project, allowing participants to put their faith into action by serving the Montgomery community.
How to watch the interview
Action 8’s Estee Morrison recently sat down with Pastor Searcy to discuss the conference’s purpose and what students can expect. The interview is available on the Action 8 website and provides additional insight into the event’s vision.
