Camps & Retreats
RUSH Camp
- RUSH camp is scheduled for June 24th-28th, 2024, and by account of all attendees in the past, it is a week to remember! Please see more information on the Camps & Retreats page.
Winter Retreat
- WinterWave Retreat is scheduled for January 12th-14th, 2024 at Beulah Beach in Vermillion, OH.
- Our 7th-12th grade students have had the opportunity to attend Winter Retreats the past few years. This time is a fun-filled weekend with a clear faith-focus. This is a chance for leaders and students alike to prioritize communion with Christ and fellow believers and recognize the importance of prayer, meditation on God, and a life that is lived according to the gospel. More information is available on the Camps & Retreats page.
Drop Your Nets
This is a theme for our youth. Students are challenged to drop their 'nets'. Whatever is holding them back from being wholeheartedly on fire for God--it isn't worth it! We are called to keep God as our one and only priority following his commands as a result. What is your net? Will you drop it and turn to God?
