LA PUENTE, CA – On March 8, 2025, LABI College proudly hosted the Elevate Conference 2025, bringing together a vibrant audience from across the region for a day filled with dynamic workshops, meaningful fellowship, and powerful worship.

• Beyond Sunday School: Engaging Kids in Faith through Worship – Stephanie & David Bess explored innovative approaches to children’s ministry.

• El Síndrome de Ulises & El Rol de los Padres en la Nueva Generación – Spanish workshops led by Claudia Paz and John Alvarez, equipping leaders and parents for effective ministry.

  
  

Following the afternoon of engaging workshops, attendees gathered for a time of fellowship over a delicious meal provided by In-N-Out!

To close out the day, Elevate Conference culminated in a powerful night service, featuring worship by Jesus Now! Band and a compelling message from Jay Jimenez, who challenged attendees to step boldly into their calling.
