🌲 Summer Service at DuBois Center 🌲

Summer is closer than it seems — and we have another meaningful opportunity to serve!

High school youth and adults are invited to join us June 29–July 2 at DuBois Center for a special service project experience. Together, we’ll stay on Rustic, complete work projects around camp, and share in a week of faith, fellowship, and hands-on service in a place we love.

If you’re ready to give back, grow in community, and make a tangible difference, we’d love for you to be part of this impactful week!

Summer might feel far away… but it will be here before we know it!

We’re excited to partner with AMEN STL for a meaningful, multi-generational mission experience in St. Louis. This opportunity is open to EVERYONE — youth, adults, families, and individuals — as we serve, grow in faith, and build relationships together.

Whether you’ve been on a mission trip before or this would be your first time, there’s a place for you. Join us as we live out our faith in hands-on ways and make a difference together!

All parents of youth group students are invited! This will be a relaxed time to connect and hear more about the monthly theme and weekly lessons Andy has been sharing with the group, plus ask questions about upcoming events.
