Biblical Instruction for Godly Living

JULY 9–12, 2024

God’s wisdom given to Solomon in the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes is a treasure chest, full of the greatest treasure to be found on earth. Its truths are personal, convicting, Christ-centered, and practical. They will help you avoid the pitfalls of life and walk in success. We welcome all young people (entering 10th grade to age 22) to join us July 9-12, 2024 to be equipped and encouraged in your faith journey.
