All Resources

Right now, in the thick of this season, it’s worth naming the moment we’re living in. It’s noisy. It’s uncertain. It’s complicated. You’re carrying a lot. Your students and faculty are carrying a lot. And that’s exactly why Urbana matters right now.

Heading to Urbana 25 isn't just a trip—it's a spiritual step of courage. For many students, fundraising feels intimidating or awkward. That's why we created this practical, encouraging, steop-by-step guide to make it doable (and even meaningful). Whether you're a staff helping students plan or a student ready to start, this toolkit walks you through the entire process—from "Who should I ask?" to "How do I say thanks?

One of the most defining aspects of Urbana is the way we gather to worship: thousands of voices united in song, drawn from every corner of the world, proclaiming the greatness of our God together. And Urbana 25 will be no exception. In fact, I believe it may be one of the most spiritually alive, globally rich, and musically dynamic worship experiences we’ve ever experienced.

Let’s be honest—traveling to Phoenix may feel like a big shift for some of us, especially in the Midwest and South. But for years, staff on the coasts have faced this exact challenge—and figured out ways to bring students to Urbana with creativity, trust in God, and practical planning.
