What is Global Impact Fest?

GIF is a 3 day conference put on by Crown College's Campus Mobilization Team. The goal of CMT and of GIF is to encourage students to engage with God's work locally and around the world, and to consider what their role might be in serving His kingdom. This is accomplished through events and programming that highlight service, learning, and the celebration of cultures and people around the world.
