CLARITY CONFERENCE

2026 CONFERENCE KEYNOTES

Mrs. Katie Fiskness

WHAT IS CLARITY CONFERENCE?

The Clarity Conference is a weekend at Hillcrest Academy designed to help students make sense of their faith in a confusing world. It gives middle and high school students clear grounding in what Christians believe, why it matters, and how to live it out with confidence and courage.

Students will engage Christ centered teaching, worship, and honest conversation around faith, culture, and real life questions. This is a space where questions are welcomed, truth is spoken clearly, and students are encouraged to follow Jesus with conviction rather than pressure or fear. The goal is not hype or emotional manipulation, but deep encouragement, clear thinking, and lasting formation.

The weekend is intentionally built around both learning and belonging. Students will laugh, compete, worship, and build friendships, all within a community centered on Christ. Many students leave with stronger confidence in their faith, clearer language for what they believe, and renewed courage to live as Christians in their schools, families, and churches.

We also believe cost should never be a barrier. The conference is $65.00 per student, covering the full weekend experience. We work hard to keep the cost as low as possible because we want students there. If a student truly cannot afford the cost, families are encouraged to reach out. We will find a way.
