Hosted by Georgia Baptist Collegiate Ministry, Confluence brings together students from dozens of colleges and universities. They come from different schools, backgrounds and cultures, yet they share a passion to follow Christ and take the gospel to their campuses. Attendees worshiped together, studied Scripture, prayed, played, and discovered new ways to live out their faith in community during the Sept. 19–21 event.
This year’s event drew 1,250 total participants, including 1,104 students, 77 group leaders, and 42 staff and volunteers. That marks about a 20 percent increase over 2024 and the highest attendance in at least two decades, according to Beverly Skinner, college ministry catalyst for the Georgia Baptist Mission Board.
