Theme: “REACH”

Before us is a generation. A generation that is lost, lonely and looking. A generation of teens searching for answers, truth, meaning. A Generation ENDANGERED.

Today’s teens face unique challenges and are exposed to a world that threatens their spiritual, mental, and emotional health like never before.

There has never been a more critical time for us to REACH this generation with unapologetic intentionality.

We cannot sit idly by and watch them slip away. It’s time to rise up and bring hope, light, and the salvation of Jesus to those who need it most. Now is the time to REACH and equip a generation ENDANGERED.

Verse: Judges 2:10

“After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, ANOTHER GENERATION GREW UP WHO KNEW NEITHER THE LORD NOR WHAT HE HAD DONE…”
