OKC Area-Wide Retreat

OKC Area-Wide Retreat is April 12–14!

Join us for a great weekend at Oakridge Christian Camp in Anadarko with other youth ministries from central Oklahoma! This is a unity-based weekend full of worship & fun activities like archery, axe-throwing, go karts & more! Youth ministers have been meeting for a long time to make this a weekend of fellowship & fun! This weekend is sponsored by Oklahoma Christian University.

Our keynote speaker is Justin Taylor from the Grapevine Church of Christ. The theme for the weekend is "LIMITLESS" and focuses how God leads us in areas & ways we could never imagine through faith, now that we can't be held back in Him.

Sunday Mornings

Sunday morning Bible class begins at 9 am in the youth room. We dig deep into God's word every Sunday morning. Our hope is that over time every student will learn the story of God in such a way that they can and will share it with everyone they know, at any time. 

We study the Old Testament and the New Testament, discovering more and more about God's covenants with his people. Come join us!

Wednesday Nights

Youth students are invited for our midweek gathering on Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm in the Family Life Center! We hang out together before the lesson and begin worship at 7 pm. At 8 pm, it's time to go home.
