What Is FUEL Week?
FUEL Week is an annual event set aside for local youth groups to turn their attention upon their calling to a life of holy living. FUEL Week seeks to call students to take up the pursuit of holiness. The purpose of FUEL Week, then, is to help students understand that believers are called to a deeper surrender to God's perfect will such that they give complete control of their lives to Him, resulting in a fully consecrated existence in Christ.

Who Sponsors This Event?
FUEL Week is underwritten and sponsored by a coalition of those who have a heart for youth and who desire to see youth impacted to the point of life change resulting in holiness in heart and life. We find this emphasis on holiness before God in the teachings of Jesus, the Apostles, and in the later writings of those Christians who believed that how we live our life is our response to God’s love—for example, the teachings of John Wesley and others. The coalition seeks to minister to youth in such a way that they find their identity as a member of God’s family—and as such, take on the family identity—seeking to “be holy even as God is holy.
