- Who is the speaker for Ignite? And how did we choose him?
Our speaker for Ignite 2026 is...
Wil Del Valle!
He is the lead pastor of Crossroads Fellowship in Pleasantville, NJ (https://crossnj.org/) and has previously served in student ministry for many years. He's married and has 2 kids, and is also ordained in the Christian & Missionary Alliance.
His personal devotion to Jesus, his character when the microphone isn't on, his deep desire for students to encounter Him, and the way he preaches + teaches the Word have all qualified him (and beyond) to bring the word to us at Ignite 2026!
- For the first time in a while, we are inviting other churches to join Ignite; Why did we open Ignite up to other churches?
For those of you that aren't Ignite historians, the origin of this camp actually doesn't begin with Eagle Church... Ignite was a camp we inherited from another church!
As our leadership had conversations about Ignite, here was one of the comments that was made:
"Ignite is too good to not share with others; why can't we invite other youth groups / churches to join us?"
And this is precisely why for Ignite 2026 (and beyond) we have decided (and will continue to) to invite some other churches to join us! We want to be good stewards of what God has given us as a church, and we believe the best way for us to steward Ignite is to welcome other youth groups + churches that might not be able to pull-off a camp on their own to join us!
If you disagree with this decision, read Luke 6:38 and Hebrews 13:16.
