CHIC (Covenant High In Christ) is the triennial youth conference of The Evangelical Covenant Church.
CHIC exists to:
be a catalyst that inspires Christ-like change
challenge students to see themselves as part of something bigger
inspire students towards the journey of following Christ.
Through CHIC, we want to see students be:
a Christ-centered community (Genesis 28:3)
confident in their relationship with Christ (Romans 8:38-39)
committed to doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly wih their God (Micah 6:8).
We’ve put together three newsletter articles for your use and enjoyment. Just be sure to change the bracketed text so that no one knows you didn’t actually spend hours writing near-Flannery O’Connor-like prose.
The following promotional video, skillfully created by Bjorn Amundson of Herald Design (herald-design.com/) and Tim Anderson of 4k (fourkaymusic.com/), is also on the DVD that was mailed along with registration materials to Covenant churches. So take a look here and act surprised when your youth leader shows it to you in September!
Below is contact information for a few people that are great resources as you plan travel to CHIC 2009. Keep in mind that your conference liaison is also a good resource for travel plans.
Lakeville Travel: 800-848-8151
We have worked with Lakeville in the past and they have worked to negotiate group discounts in the past for our groups. All of their agents are aware of CHIC and aware of the dates of CHIC. They will be working with the airlines in the near future to work out details for group rates or any other discounts they can find for our groups. You do not have to use Lakeville if you have someone else that you already have a relationship with – this is only a suggestion of someone we’ve had good luck with in the past.
Brian Alnes: 320-732-3218, brian.alnes@chic2009.org
Brian is a CHIC Council member and has great knowledge of the bussing industry and has a few contacts for you if your conference plans on bussing to CHIC. Additionally, Brian may be able to utilize your coach busses during the week of CHIC for excursions. If your group is bussing to CHIC please contact Brian and let him know if you busses will be available during the week.

If you have any questions about flying to Knoxville Keith is a great resource.
A printed guidebook will be sent to churches along with other registration materials at the end of June, but the text has been reproduced in the posts below. Posting each chapter of the guidebook in this way makes for a quick and easy reference, and effectively makes the guidebook searchable with the search form at left. You may also download the guidebook in PDF format (16.9MB).
