Kids Camp 2025

Dear parents,

Who else is excited about Kids Camp 2025? This year’s theme is .... The Mystery of South St. Ice Cream Parlour!

There’s something intriguing about a good mystery. Now imagine being part of the greatest mystery in history, the Old Testament promise of a rescue plan that would one day be revealed to all creation. We know it as the gospel.

Our prayer for this summer is that every child comes to understand the gospel as the ultimate mystery is revealed. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God’s plan to save us from sin has been made clear; it’s the most incredible story ever told!

See you soon!
