Big News
For the first time since our partnership with the powerful Netflix series “The Chosen”, we will have FIVE powerhouse players from the cast and crew as special guests for the Saturday Night Program. You are not going to want to miss this amazing opportunity to hear their personal testimonies and how they personally have been impacted in their Walk With Jesus through their journey of working on “The Chosen.”
Youth Conference News
The ultimate weekend adventure for your kids is just around the corner! Don’t let them miss out on the "Start the Party" Youth Conference during Commissioning. It’s not just fun and games (although we have plenty of those!) - it's a chance for them to dive into engaging Bible stories, create amazing crafts, enjoy delicious snacks, and even be amazed by a magician!
The best part? They'll come back inspired to be 'party starters' in their communities and families. Spots are filling up fast, so mark your calendar and register by May 24th! Let’s make this weekend unforgettable for our young ones.
