This Summer

We believe that this generation is leading the way in understanding that our faith in Jesus deeply informs how we engage with our community. When we love our city, we reveal our love for Jesus. That's why we are so excited to announce our big summer youth experience, Youth For The City.

Youth For The City is a time for our students to experience everything we love about camps all while reflecting the heart of Jesus in the service of our city. Students will attend chapel times with powerful worship and meaningful teaching followed by group discussions and prayer. Our team is putting together all sorts of competitions and recreational activities for our students so that they can connect with one another and deepen lasting friendships. And the centerpiece of this weekend will be the coming alongside of local non-profits and community partners as we reflect God's heart of service. This four-day experience will be full of opportunities for our students to learn more about what it means to be like Jesus, have lots of fun, and impact our city in meaningful ways.
