INFORMATION

[ Theme ]

J-High Summer Camp is the HIGHLIGHT of the Summer and you are not going to want to miss it. If you are in 6th-8th grade, join us for the Best Week of the Year, where we will worship, learn from God's word, play games, and compete for the Summer Camp Cup. Our theme this year is "Kingdoms"; we will be studying through the book of Ephesians, how the Apostle Paul calls us to be citizens of a different Kingdom - God's Kingdom.

For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So, then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

— Ephesians 2:17-20
