Those
Who
Dream
A Movement for
the Next Generation
October 14-16, 2026
Chicago, IL
“When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dreamed.”
Psalm 126:1
What happens when the Church dares to dream again for the next generation?
Psalm 126 is a communal song of return, renewal, and reimagining–holding together memory and longing, sowing and reaping, tears and joy. This is the song TENx10 is singing at the 2026 Summit.
We remember the ways God has restored us. We face the hard realities of ministry with courage and honesty. And we sow new seeds of relational discipleship radically focused on Jesus, trusting that God will bring a joyful harvest in the lives of the young people we love.
The Invitation
Summit is where that work takes shape. Together.
Diverse influencers, practitioners, change-makers, and thought leaders that transcend denominations, cultures, and traditions, uniting around one thing: the faith of the next generation.
Connect with diverse leaders who share your passion for the future of faith in America
Encounter honest, thought-provoking conversation about what’s broken and what’s possible
Cultivate practical principles for faith formation in your community through peer learning
Commit to challenging current model of youth discipleship, and build new ones together
Access valuable resources, frameworks, and relationships you’ll take home and immediately use
Be part of a co-created movement, not just a conference you attend!
Why Attend
A gathering unlike anything else in the Church today.
TENx10 is a collaborative discipleship movement of more than 200 diverse US ministry organizations and denominations working together to make faith matter more for ten million young people over ten years—in the spirit of John 10:10.
Our strategy is simple. We work together across denominational, racial, and cultural lines to elevate relational discipleship radically focused on Jesus and transform the ecosystem of Christianity in the US.
It’s not easy, but together we can offer the resources, training, and support needed to rally local faith communities to prioritize the next generation and address their most relevant realities so their faith can thrive.

LAMENT & BE EQUIPPED
Real talk: ministry is hard. Youth culture is complex. Leaders are tired. This moment honors the tears while equipping us with the tools, relationships, and frameworks to keep sowing faithfully.
