Join the celebration!
On Monday evening everyone is invited to celebrate what God has done through Student Life’s Discover Camp! Many of our students participated in a three-day camp where they were guided by different members of our church body to “discover” their gifts and begin to understand the intersection between their gifts and God’s Kingdom. Breakouts included music, dance, building, sports, multi media art and behind the scenes (production tech). Come enjoy snacks while the students showcase what they learned. The evening will start at 7 p.m. in the Auditorium.
