My Story Within God’s Big Story
March 30 - April 5, 2025
until Bible School starts!
Ages 16+
Life is short. Jesus is worthy. Go deep while you’re young
Strong men and women of faith aren't formed by accident. They are forged through intentional investment in what really matters: knowing Jesus and loving his word. Our desire is to give you a unique opportunity to pull away from everyday life and spend a week with young people who are serious about their faith. Through Bible study, teaching, singing, prayer, and time alone with God, we want to help you send your roots down a little deeper for a lifetime of growing into the very image of Jesus. We hope you can leave with some new friendships, new memories, a song in your soul, and a peace from God for facing an anxious world.
We typically have 40-50 students. It's a great setting for getting to know each other in a family atmosphere. Come prepared to laugh, to play, and to eat some really good food
This year’s theme is "Our Story Within God's Story." Together, we will explore the overarching narrative of Scripture, examining the incredible journey of God's work throughout history. In addition, we will reflect on how our individual lives intersect with His divine purpose, and how we are invited to be a part of His ongoing story.
