Winter Camp
Go Home
Baptism is a public declaration of your decision to follow Jesus.
Many people wonder if they're ready for baptism. Maybe you're waiting until you know more, have everything figured out, or feel more prepared. The good news is that baptism isn't about having all the answers. In the book of Acts, the instruction is simple: believe and be baptized.
If you've decided to follow Jesus, baptism is your next step.

Phone Policy
We have such an incredible weekend planned with many elements where students will be invited into the something more that God has in store for their life.
Despite their phones constant presence, our students often fail to grasp how deeply phones impact their cognitive abilities and affect their openness to connect socially and spiritually. Because of this, we ask that your student leaves their cell phones home with you.
There is also no phone policy at Lake Geneva Youth Camp as well. We want to make sure we honor this camp as we have built an amazing relationship with them.
And as a fellow parent of students, we want to invite your student into that something MORE this weekend and I know first hand how tempted students are when electronics are in reach.
Students will have access to their leaders phone day and night.
