There’s something powerful about getting away from the busyness of life. Church summer camp creates space for students to unplug, grow in faith, build community, and experience God in ways that can shape a lifetime.

This Sunday, our NextGen Pastor, Jack Gilbert, challenges us to get away from the distractions of everyday life and discover that growth often begins when we make room to listen to what the Lord has to say.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim pauses our journey through Acts to explore what Scripture teaches about Spirit baptism, spiritual language, and spiritual gifts. Looking at Acts and 1 Corinthians together, we discover that the Holy Spirit is already active in every believer’s life—and that Spirit baptism is given for empowerment, witness, and worship.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim covered the remainder of Acts 9, reminding us that God still does the impossible. Saul’s story shows that no background, gift, failure, or season is beyond redemption, and Peter’s ministry reveals how God’s power points people toward new life in Christ.

So, the real question, "Who are we investing in?" God has given each of us something to share -- and we are called to share it with others.

Acts 9 is a powerful reminder that God never gives up on people. Through Saul’s encounter with Jesus and Ananias’ willingness to obey, we’re challenged to pray boldly, trust God’s timing, and believe that even the most impossible stories can become testimonies of grace.

In Acts 8:26-40, we witness the incredible encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch — a moment that reminds us how the Holy Spirit works through ordinary obedience to accomplish extraordinary things.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim explores how listening to God, meeting people where they are, and boldly stepping into opportunities can change people's lives for eternity. God’s mission was never meant for only a few specific leaders, but for every follower of Jesus willing to say “yes” to His leading.

Acts 8 marks a turning point in the growth of the early church. It reminds us that even in seasons of hardship and uncertainty, God is still moving powerfully through His people. As the gospel spreads into Samaria through Philip’s Spirit-filled ministry, we see lives transformed, miracles take place, and the Holy Spirit empower ordinary believers to make an extraordinary impact. This Sunday, Pastor Tim encourages us to trust God more deeply, surrender fully to His Spirit, and believe that He still desires to work powerfully through our lives in the same way He did then.

Stephen’s story in Acts 6–7 challenges us to consider what it truly means to follow Jesus with courage, grace, and unwavering faith. This Sunday, we explore Stephen’s powerful defense before the religious leaders, the cost of Christlikeness, and the reminder that real ministry flows not from striving, but from being filled with the Spirit. Even when we face persecution and suffering, we continue to overcome through the power and presence of Christ.

As the early church grew, real problems emerged—but so did a powerful solution. As we move into Acts chapter 6, we learn that healthy leadership multiplies by empowering others, not controlling everything. When every role is valued and every person is engaged, the church becomes stronger, more unified, and more fruitful.

What do we do when we pray and nothing seems to change? Pastor Susan May challenges us to remain persistent in prayer trusting God’s timing, His character, and His unseen work. With practical steps and biblical encouragement, we’re called to keep showing up in faith and never stop praying.

As we continue in Acts chapter 5, we see opposition rise, yet the apostles remain steadfast —choosing obedience to God over man and rejoicing even in suffering. This Sunday Pastor Tim invites us to evaluate the “hills we die on,” trust God when we don’t understand His ways, and depend fully on the Holy Spirit. A life rooted in Jesus leads to bold proclamation, enduring faith, and unshakable joy.
