Teen Camp registration is LIVE! This year’s teen camp will be June 7th-11th in Eagle Rock, Missouri. The Cost is $270 per student. Payment will be due by May 16th.

Questions of identity are at the forefront of almost everything students are a part of, and our culture is screaming at everyone to choose their own identity. The message of the gospel is clear: everyone’s identity has everything to do with how they relate to Jesus Christ. Pastor Mike Summers and Alex Lynch will unpack what identifies the follower of Jesus Christ.

Registration for teen camp runs from March 14- May 16th. Registration will be available in the south foyer (or the resource center) following Sunday morning services, in the youth app, through the QR code on posters in the church hallways, or click here.
