INSPIRATION MIDWEST

SEPTEMBER 26, 2026 // Six Flags Great America //
Chicago, IL

We know youth ministry can be a grind. That’s why we created Life Teen Inspiration – an event that makes it easy to gather your teens for one incredible day of relational ministry, wild fun, and an encounter with Jesus they won’t forget.

Whether your teens are all-in or just dipping their toes into faith, Inspiration meets them right where they are. From roller coasters to Eucharistic Adoration, this is where lives change.

Here’s the breakdown:

🎢 Afternoon in the park – Let loose, ride roller coasters, eat snacks, and spend real time with your teens.
🎤 Evening event – A dynamic talk that meets teens where they are.
🎶 Live praise + worship – Music that moves hearts.
🕯️ Eucharistic Adoration – The heart of the night: encounter Jesus, fully present.
