Some of Our Youth Activities

Fall and Spring Advance                                                                                                                       

Every March and September we have our annual Advance. This weekend is designed to get our young people in grades  4th -12th away for the weekend to focus on God. We spend the weekend studying the Bible, singing, and having lots of crazy fun together.                          

Summer Camp                                                                                                                                      

Every summer we go to Fall Creek Falls State Park for our annual summer camp. We spend the week having Bible classes ( 2 sessions per day), devotionals (every morning and evening), singing class (every afternoon), an arts and crafts session (daily), camp Olympics, lots of free time, and we close every day with a light out singing. We also go paddle boating and to the falls during the week. Camp is a great place to make friends that will last a lifetime.
