MISSION:

This year, NASC 25 is all about going deeper. After two years of healing, revival, and restoration, we’re now digging into the soil of our faith to grow roots that last. Inspired by Colossians 2:7 (NLT) — “Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him…” — this 2-day immersive experience is designed to ground singles in truth, intimacy with God, and emotional wholeness.

ROOTED isn’t just another conference. It’s a catalytic space to unearth the shame that’s been buried, strengthen your spiritual formation, and cultivate the kind of internal transformation that impacts every relationship in your life — friendships, community, and future marriage.

We’re continuing the journey we started:

In 2023, we focused on gifting, identity, and purpose.

In 2024, we walked through healing, revival, and restoration.

And now in 2025, it’s time to go deeper.

Workshop themes include:

Getting to the Root of Shame

Deeply Rooted in Faith

Roots of Love

Rooted and Built Up in God

Plus, there will be new opportunities to grow in community — from authentic conversations to Spirit-led encounters, speed meetups, worship, and more.

Get ready to get ROOTED

DAY 1 - FRIDAY NIGHT MIXER (FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24TH | 7 PM - 10 PM) LIGHT BITES + VENDOR SHOPPING

We’re doing something new this year to kick off the weekend. Join us Friday night for a laid-back, speakeasy-style evening featuring a live DJ, special performances, handcrafted mocktails, and curated vendor shopping.

Looking for a more relaxed way to meet people? The Friend Zone Speed Meet is back, too. No pressure, just real conversations and a chance to build community before the main sessions begin.

Come as you are, connect with others, and start the weekend rooted in something real.

DAY 2 - CONFERENCE (OCTOBER 25TH| 10 AM - 5 PM) LUNCH PROVIDED

The NASC conference rejuvenates singles with transformative workshops and discussions, inspiring personal growth and spiritual enrichment. It offers a safe space for healing, addressing challenges, and empowering singles to lead fulfilling lives. Prepare for transformation and healing.

Please note that this is a TWO-DAY EVENT: Friday starts at 7 PM and Saturday starts at 10 AM

VISION:
We envision a church and community where the conversation around singleness goes deeper than just “wait until marriage.” A place where Christian singles are equipped, seen, and empowered to grow strong spiritual roots that go beyond surface-level faith.

Our goal is to help singles move past the idea that salvation is the finish line and instead embrace it as the starting point of a rich, intimate, and purpose-driven relationship with God. Through intentional teaching, authentic connection, and real conversations, we want to cultivate a body that is deeply rooted in truth, identity, purpose, and love so that whether single or married, our foundation in Christ remains strong.

WORKSHOP: Barbershop Conversations: Healthy Relationships with Men | Speaker: Mike Jenkins

Whether you are single, dating, or engaged, you will walk away with tools to help you make one of the most important decisions of your life with clarity and confidence.

MORE TO KNOW ABOUT NASC 25

VALUES:

Rooted Identity

We believe wholeness starts with knowing who we are in Christ. Before titles or relationship status, we are sons and daughters. We aim to help singles build a strong identity that’s rooted in truth, not timelines, pressure, or performance.

Real Growth

Salvation isn’t the finish line—it’s the starting point. We’re committed to spiritual formation that goes beyond surface-level faith. Through teaching, discipleship, and community, we encourage singles to go deeper with God and grow in purpose, maturity, and love.

True Connections

We create space for honest conversations and meaningful relationships. Whether through friendships or romantic connection, we value authenticity, vulnerability, and community that supports you in every season.
