how do you find

your way in a world

gone wild?

From June 8th through June 11th, 2025 we took a trip to the great white north without ever leaving East Tennessee.  During each day of Vacation Bible School kids trekked to find a rock-solid foundation for their faith and an unshakable friendship with Jesus.  Thank you to everyone who joined the expedition as we learned to trust Jesus in a wild world.
