“To Judge or Not To Judge?”  Come join us for this three week series beginning June 3rd to learn more about this important and timely topic!

The Bible contains several shocking and unique stories – ones that kids love!  You’ll learn how God wants you to join Him in a wild, lifelong adventure of trusting, obeying and following the One who pulled his people out of gnarly predicaments.

Campers are shown how to spend daily time alone with God and his Word during “Tree Time.” Daily talks are centered around the camp theme found in Scripture. Adventure Camp counselors are trained and screened volunteers from E-Free.

Imagine what it would be like if you had absolute confidence that God was with you at all times!  How might you live differently than you live now! Imagine how differently you might respond to life’s circumstances; in the good things of life, as well as in the difficult things of life. Imagine what it would be like to have a faith that pleases God in all things, and trusts that He rewards those who earnestly seek him! Hebrews 11:6

Join us for this 4-week series beginning March 11th.]]> Finding Your Way Back to The Father's Heart “The People Around Jesus”  Luke 15:1-10  Luke 15 begins with the religious people noticing something—that Jesus seems to attract and befriend “tax collectors and sinners” moral outcasts of respectable society. As a result they mutter against Jesus… “he must be telling them what they want to hear” and “He is not calling them to repent and change” are the thoughts you can imagine them saying amongst themselves. It is in this light that Jesus shares these three stories or parable especially the last one. In doing so, Jesus gives them an entirely different way of thinking about God, themselves, and others. 

March 11th – The People Around Jesus
March 18th – The Two Lost Sons
March 25th – He Refused to Go In!
April 1st – The True Elder Brother
