OUR STORY
403 didn’t start as an event. It started as a burden to see unity.
A burden to see a generation in Calgary encounter the presence of God not in isolation, but together. Across churches. Across cultures. Across backgrounds.
In the early days, it looked simple: gatherings of hungry young people, and leaders who believed that unity wasn’t optional it was essential to reach our city
What marked 403 from the beginning was a people that were willing to sacrifice time & energy as well as preference to see God move Not platform but participation.
Over time, what began as gatherings became a movement:
• Youth coming alive to Jesus
• over a 100 alphas being launched
• Churches collaborating instead of competing
• A city beginning to believe that revival is possible here
403 has always carried this conviction:
When a generation encounters Jesus together, a city cannot stay the same.

OUR THEME THIS YEAR
“THE REDEMPTION OF ALL THINGS”
(TZEDEK VISION)
We believe the gospel doesn’t just save souls—it restores everything.
We want to raise a generation that lives:

• Mercy (what is compassionate)
• Faithfulness (what is enduring)
Not just in church spaces but in every sphere of culture.
