Eleva Conference

The event starts on Friday and ends on Saturday night. On Friday, Revolucion Juvenil’s worship band leads the event with songs of worship which is followed by sermon from one of the event’s speakers and a concert. On Saturday, breakfast is offered to those attending the event. Revolucion Juvenil’s worship band leads sings some worship songs and one of the speakers presents. Then there are “breakouts’’, or workshops, are made to assist those attending. Eleva offers breakouts for middle schoolers, high schoolers, young adults, pastors and leaders, and worship leaders. After that, a time is set for lunch which is followed by another concert. Then there are more breakouts, a time for dinner and a last session with one of the speakers. The event ends with a concert.
