Set Apart Conference
In New York as it is in Heaven
Saturday, August 29, 2026
Doors Open: 9:00 AM
Conference: 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM
Location: Transformation Church, Middletown, NY
Cost: $10 per student
For: Middle school and high school students
Set Apart Conference is a one-day youth discipleship conference created to equip and encourage middle school and high school students as they step into a new school year.
This year’s theme is “In New York as it is in Heaven,” centered on the call of Jesus in Matthew 28:18–20 to go, make disciples, and live on mission. We believe God is raising up students who will not just attend church, but carry the presence, love, truth, and mission of Jesus into their schools, teams, homes, friendships, and communities.
This is not just another youth event. This is a discipleship moment for a generation.
We are praying that students will encounter Jesus, be strengthened in their faith, and leave with boldness to live set apart for Him.
What Students Can Expect
Set Apart Conference is designed to be fun, powerful, practical, and deeply encouraging. Students will experience:
Powerful worship
Encouraging messages
Breakout sessions
Lunch and dessert
Community with other students
Partner tables and resources
Prayer and response moments
Opportunities to take a next step in their faith
Our heart is to create a safe, excellent, welcoming space where every student feels seen, loved, and invited to encounter Jesus.
Whether a student has followed Jesus for years, is new to faith, has questions, or is simply curious, they are welcome here.
Why Set Apart?
We believe the new school year is more than a fresh schedule, new classes, sports seasons, and new routines. It is a mission field.
Students are walking into hallways, locker rooms, classrooms, lunch tables, group chats, teams, and friendships where Jesus wants to move.
Set Apart exists to help students understand that following Jesus is not just something they do on Sundays. It is who they are everywhere they go.
We are believing God for students to be saved, encouraged, filled with faith, called deeper, and sent out with purpose.
