# Event Details - **Event Name**: 2026 NextGen Leadership Summit - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 08 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm - **Event Description**: This UPCAG Leadership Summit will serve as a strategic planning springboard for our upcoming International NextGen Retreat in Summer 2026.About this EventUnited Pentecostal Council of the Assemblies of GodNextGen Leadership Summit Jan. 8-10, 2026 InfoThe NextGen Leadership Summit is strategically positioned at the halfway point of the year to sustain the momentum between major summer events, deepen leadership development, and begin charting the course for the year ahead.This retreat will serve three primary purposes:1.INVIGORATE: Many of our NextGen leaders left the 2025 Convention inspired but in need of personal renewal, practical direction, and meaningful connection. This retreat offers a chance for spiritual refreshing, relational bonding, and a sense of belonging to a movement larger than themselves.2.EQUIP: Through interactive workshops, leadership labs, peer mentoring, and devotional times, participants will receive targeted training in spiritual leadership, communication, creative ministry, discipleship strategies, and planning. We aim to not only inspire but practically equip our NextGen leaders to lead boldly and effectively in their local contexts.3.EXPOSE: By hosting this retreat in Charleston, SC—a city rich in culture, history, and leadership legacy—we are intentionally placing our leaders in a setting that broadens their perspectives and deepens their understanding of legacy, responsibility, and generational impact. This setting also provides a natural bridge for our leaders from various regions to experience ministry outside their usual contexts.Additionally, the January summit will serve as a strategic planning springboard for our upcoming International NextGen Retreat in Summer 2026.Who should attend?Church Youth/Young Adult LeadersSunday School TeachersVolunteersDistrict Youth LeadersIndividuals interested in serving/leadingFine Arts LeadersDay 1: Thursday, Jan 8 – Arrival & OrientationCheck-In & Welcome KitsInformal meet & greet sessionOpening worship & vision session:"Unstoppable – Continuing the Momentum"Late-night fireside fellowshipDay 2: Friday, Jan 9 – Spiritual Renewal & Leadership FormationMorning devotion & prayer walkLeadership Lab #1: Authentic Leadership for a New GenerationMaster Class Sessions:Ministry in a Post-Christian CultureBuilding & Leading TeamsSocial Media & Digital WitnessLunch on-siteLeadership Lab #2: Vision Casting & Strategic PlanningNextGen Retreat Summer 2026: ChicagoFree time / Optional Charleston Cultural TourEvening Worship & Impartation ServiceDay 3: Saturday, Jan 10 – Exposure & EmpowermentMorning Breakfast & DevotionPanel Discussion: The Voice of the NextGenCheck-out and departureAccommodationsResidence Inn Charleston, SC Airport$144/Night (Book by December 1, 2025)Flights should be booked to arrive at Charleston, SC Airport (CHS) and there is a complimentary shuttle provided by the hotel.https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1758651527245&key=GRP&app=resvlink$35/person Summit Registration (Non-refundable)Deadline December 9, 2025W W W.U P C A G .O R G https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d3e0e5f0-adb6-11f0-8e9c-af0bb9b9cd53-rimg-w904-h740-dc5e4676-gmir.jpg Day #1Day #1 - January 8, 2026Info: Day 1: Thursday, Jan 8 – Arrival & Orientation Check-In & Welcome Kits Informal meet & greet session Opening worship & vision session: "Unstoppable – Continuing the Momentum" Late-night fireside fellowshipDay #2Day #2 - January 9, 2026 Info: Day 2: Friday, Jan 9 – Spiritual Renewal & Leadership Formation Morning devotion & prayer walk Leadership Lab #1: Authentic Leadership for a New Generation Master Class Sessions: Ministry in a Post-Christian Culture Building & Leading Teams Social Media & Digital Witness Lunch on-site Leadership Lab #2: Vision Casting & Strategic Planning NextGen Retreat Summer 2026: Chicago Free time / Optional Charleston Cultural Tour Evening Worship & Impartation ServiceDay #3Day #3 - January 10, 2026Info: Day 3: Saturday, Jan 10 – Exposure & Empowerment Morning Breakfast & Devotion Panel Discussion: The Voice of the NextGen Check-out and departure - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/north-charleston/2026-nextgen-leadership-summit/100001786867983239 - **Event Categories**: business, workshops, art, meetups, fine-arts, meet-and-greet, spiritual - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35, max: 35, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: North Charleston - **state**: SC - **country**: United States - **location**: Residence Inn by Marriott Charleston Airport - **lat**: 32.8657854 - **long**: -80.0148448 - **full address**: Residence Inn by Marriott Charleston Airport, 5035 International Boulevard, North Charleston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2026 NextGen Leadership Summit - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/c2b97795ebbc367c73d335a25acdc86e1c26d16b751199764b06f161cb5318a4-rimg-w1194-h580-dc303030-gmir.jpg?v=1760966128 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2026 NextGen Leadership Summit being held? - **A:** 2026 NextGen Leadership Summit takes place on Thu, 08 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Residence Inn by Marriott Charleston Airport, 5035 International Boulevard, North Charleston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 2026 NextGen Leadership Summit? - **A:** 2026 NextGen Leadership Summit is organized by UPCAG. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
