Impact:Secret Service

Be sure to join us as we embark on our third annual youth service week - Impact:Secret Service! June 25-29th - where we will focus on Serving in the Shadows: Exploring the idea of serving without seeking recognition, diving into the concept of doing good deeds quietly and humbly, mirroring the heart of Christ's selfless service; and being undercover agents of love and kindness to the world around us. Contact Jess for more information!

Packing List

Get ready for our 2024 Youth Service Week

Theme: Impact:Secret Service

Dates: June 25-29th, 2024

Scripture Focus: “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:18 (NIV); “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,” Matthew 6: 3 (NIV). Our focus is on humbly serving without seeking recognition.

This event promises:

Powerful service projects that will profoundly impact our community. We'll lend support to local shelters and organize outreach programs, all with compassion, love, and dedication. Together, we'll create positive change and uplift those around us.

Team-building activities that will unite your group like never before. Campfire chats under the starry sky, where souls connect, faith deepens, and lasting friendships are formed. Engaging speakers will challenge, inspire, and guide young hearts on their journey of faith. And, group games that will bring laughter and unity.

In small groups, expect deep discussions where students can explore their faith, share stories, and experience transformative growth together. And to keep your energy levels high, we've got you covered with three delicious meals and snacks each day.

On Tourist Day, we'll enjoy a picnic lunch at the Midland Tridge, followed by a Prayer Scavenger Hunt in the surrounding area. And did we mention "Tent City"? That's right, you’ll have the option of camping under the stars, building lasting memories, and creating bonds that will withstand the test of time. It's going to be legendary!

We would be thrilled to have your youth group join us in this life-changing adventure. Impact:Secret Service is all about unleashing the power of youth, making a difference, and having a blast along the way!

Students listened to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, followed the clues given during a time of prophetic prayer, and sought out the man that we felt God was leading us to. Turns out this man was going through a really difficult time in his life and really needed to be reminded of God’s love for him.

He later posted about his experience on TikTok - Isn't it great to see how God moves in power when we take a moment to stop and listen... and obey?

Take a look at the video he posted (click YouTube to watch full screen).
