Retreats
One retreat is offered annually for Junior High students. In January,
we join our Senior High and about 150 other students from New England
at Camp Berea for our winter retreat.
Summer Experience
Jr. High students go to Camp Berea each summer for a week together for an opportunity to build lasting friendships, worship with great musicians, learn from today’s hottest speakers and have a great time. Check out Berea.org for more information.
Student Fellowship and Service
In addition to the annual mission trip, we sponsor monthly fun
activities. Past events have included Amazing Race, All-Nighter, Drive-In Movie Night, and pool parties/cookouts.
World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine:
Our youth group (junior and senior high) is doing World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine March 2-3. We don’t think its right that thousands of kids are dying from hunger every day. So we’re doing something about it. We’re going without food for 30 hours to raise money so others can eat. Our students will learn about hunger and be given the chance to help save lives by raising money to feed and care for hungry kids. To top it all off, they’ll be drawn closer to God and one another as they experience hunger for themselves by going without food for 30 hours. For more details about the 30 Hour Famine, or to donate towards our group goal of $9000, go to our 30 Hour Famine webpage.
