EVENTS

Bring a dish to share from your own culture or a culture you admire as we celebrate the Spirit’s power to ignite diversity, inclusion, and joy. Just like that first Pentecost, we’ll gather with many voices and flavors, delighting in the rich tapestry of God’s people. Come hungry for connection, community, and good food!

Meet two Saturday morning each month to explore a spacious, soul-stirring reflection prompt. You're invited to engage with the prompt at your own pace — through journaling, prayer, art-making, or quiet thought — and then join a gentle, welcoming space to share stories, listen deeply, and grow in community.

Leadership Lab is designed to teach students leadership skills as they encounter Jesus within the community. The mission is that students will grow in their faith while learning skills they can take back to their churches, schools, and communities. There are six unique levels of learning, all designed for high school, young adult, and adult ages.

Spend your mornings serving members of the local community throughout the Silver Valley, afternoons doing camp activities, and evenings sitting around the campfire singing camp and worship songs. This is a transformative week like no other, so get in touch with Mark Bedsaul to register!

Ready for a road trip? This year's theme is "Road Trip: On the Go with God." From August 4th-8th, kids (called Travelers) will be led by their adult leaders (called Navigators) on a fantastic road trip through different stories of the Bible to learn all about God's love. There will be tons of singing, dancing, making crafts, engaging in bible adventures, and eating delicious snacks. Be on the lookout for the link to register your Travelers and/or yourself as a Navigator in an email from Mark scheduled to arrive next Wednesday, May 14.

For lay leaders who wish to deepen their sense of God’s call to ministry.
