Join us for a transformative experience at our Young Adult Summit, where we connect young people with Jesus in a vibrant community setting that fosters both spiritual growth and personal connections. Set against the backdrop of Camp MiVoden, participants can engage in breathtaking outdoor adventures that inspire camaraderie and reflection, all while deepening their faith. From exhilarating hikes and mountain biking down a flow trail to team-building challenges, each experience allows for meaningful conversations about spirituality and life. Join us for an unforgettable weekend that not only strengthens your relationship with Christ but also nurtures lasting friendships in a supportive environment. Embrace the opportunity to grow closer to Jesus while enjoying the great outdoors with fellow young adults who share your passion for faith, community, and adventure.

"From Finding to Flourishing:
Growing Together in Community"
Finding Community:
Every community starts with a story. In this first session, we’ll share testimonies & faith experiences of how God has taken us from where we were to where we are now as church planters.
Creating Community:
As community is being created, it’s important that it is shaped and nurtured with intention. We’ll explore the need for connection today, the benefits of DNA groups, and how living “questionable lives” through the BELLS framework invites others to experience God’s Kingdom.
Growing Community:
Healthy communities don’t just gather — they grow. In this session, we’ll learn practical ways to start and lead missional grow groups, run Bible studies, and brainstorm together on multiplying spaces where faith and friendship can flourish.
