New Teaching Series...

It's the question everyone asks...or more essentially, "what does God look like?" Join us over the next few weeks as we answer the questions that middle school students have always wanted answered...

"where did God come from?"

"do I have to have braces in heaven?"

"why did God create evil?"

...and many more!

Mountain Camp

...is here! Registration has begun!

We are thrilled about this year's Mountain Camp...

July 16-19 students will find themselves surrounded by 300 acres of forest and mountains, rolling fields and bending rivers, full of wildlife. A place tucked into the Ozark Mountains, hidden away from the outside world.

A place where they'll have full reign to run wild, swim, dive into river pools, ride horses, shout & sing, and bask in the beauty of God's creation.

A place where they'll sleep in rustic lodges fit for a mountain-man-style king and queen. A place created for a middle school student!

Mountain Camp is 3 glory and worship-filled nights at Shepherd of the Ozarks. We'll be joined again this year by the Jarrett Davis Band!

The cost for Mountain Camp is $280. Cost covers everything, including accommodations, food, all sessions, charter travel, and all activities (excluding horseback and paintball - addtl' cost). Scholarships are available upon request.

A medical release and $100 deposit will secure your spot at the-can't-miss-event of 2012...Mountain Camp! The deadline to register is April 11th.
