Autumn Soul 2026: Wesley College, Dublin | 23rd - 25th October |

What changes when we realise that God is with us?
At Autumn Soul 2026, we’ll explore the incredible promise that we are SURROUNDED by the presence and love of God. “The Lord your God is with you…” Zephaniah 3:17. 
But knowing that God is with us isn’t just something that makes us feel better. It changes how we live. Jesus invites us to take ourselves out of the centre, to notice the people around us and to discover our place in God’s bigger story.

Together we’ll explore what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, allowing God’s love to shape who we are, learning to use what He has given us to serve others, and joining in with what God is already doing in our churches, communities and world.
Because when we know God is with us, we’re free to live for something bigger than ourselves.

Dates: 23rd - 25th October 2026
Venue: Wesley College Dublin
Ages: 13-18

Autumn Soul is a Christian discipleship event

for EVERY young person between 13 - 18.

Young people, leaders and volunteers come from all over the island of Ireland (Methodist connexion and beyond) for a weekend of exploring and discovering Jesus together.

No matter what stage they find themselves on their journey of faith, our programme is designed to be accessible for all teens.

The event focuses on missional discipleship through bible teaching, praise, seminars, community, and fun. It gives young people and youth groups the space they need to meet Jesus in fresh ways, learn about the Bible and encounter the Holy Spirit.

It is a safe space for those exploring faith, living out their faith and those who have questions about faith.

The Autumn Soul Experience

DEEP WORSHIP

Our worship aims to connect with Jesus through scripture, praise, prayer and the arts to be participatory, engaging, responsive and transformative. Young people and leaders encounter God through deep worship, coming away with more of an understanding that they are loved and invited to know their creator more.

PROFOUND TEACHING

We believe that the power of the Bible speaks to our young people today, directly into their lives and situations. We have been blessed with so many gifted communicators who love God’s word and also love young people. Whether it is main stage or Saturday seminars, speakers who can effectively unpack what God is saying to this generation in a relevant way are at the core of Autumn Soul.

challenge to serve

An event like Autumn Soul can often be a significant moment where young people become aware of how God has gifted them and how he is calling them. This impacts them both at a local level, serving in church, and further afield as they consider God’s wider call on their life.

THE CALL TO Prayer

There is a space to be prayed for safely by the Prayer Ministry Team. Autumn Soul equips and encourages young people with creative ways to pray and communicate with God, with the aim of enabling a deeper relationship with God.

FAQ

Autumn Soul is designed for young people aged between 13 - 18 years of age. As group leaders are responsible for young people during the course of the weekend we cannot accommodate individual young people at Autumn Soul. Groups must have appropriate ratios of leaders and young people in order to attend. We require at least one leader of each gender who is over 21 years of age, for every 8 young people.
This year Autumn Soul will be taking place at Wesley College, Dublin.

IMYC are investigating putting on buses leaving from one or two locations, possibly from the greater Belfast area. Keep an eye out on emails and socials for more information.
As long as the ratios are correct groups can ask to share leaders and sleeping halls. We can’t promise that we can make this work logistically but we can promise to try.
