OUR MISSION IS TO GROW STUDENTS TO BE THE CHURCH!
Students aren’t just the future of the church—they ARE the Church. Our purpose is to help students grow to discover their God-given purpose and gifts in order to live a life fully devoted to Him.
Upcoming Events
YHWH High School Retreat | Grades 9–12 | Ozark Christian College
Join us for our annual high school retreat, designed just for students in grades 9–12. Hosted on the campus of Ozark Christian College, this weekend is packed with powerful worship, practical teaching, and plenty of opportunities to grow closer to God and to each other. Students will be challenged to live on mission with God, practice Christian service, and build lasting character—while also experiencing a glimpse of college life at Ozark.
This retreat isn’t just about the weekend—it’s about equipping the next generation to impact the world for Christ.
We will be leaving from GCC Newton @ 4pm.
Registration Details:
Early Registration: $75 per person before October 1st (Includes an event t-shirt)
Extended Registration: $85 per person from Oct. 2–Nov. 1, 2025 (T-shirt may not be included, while supplies last)
Mission Fuge 2026 | July 6-10 | 7-12th grade | Cumberland University
Every student should experience camp—it’s a must! Camp is an exciting adventure that breaks away from the everyday routine and dives into a life-changing environment centered on building a deeper relationship with Christ. During this unforgettable week, we’ll serve local communities around Lebanon, Tennessee, and take part in meaningful ministry. It’s the best week of the year to strengthen friendships, make new ones, and grow closer to Christ in ways you never imagined!
Mission Fuge isn’t just a camp — it’s a life-changing mission experience that equips students to serve others, grow in faith, and return home with a heart to lead. Your child will step out of their comfort zone into hands-on ministry, vibrant worship, and spiritual growth — making this a summer they won’t forget.
Registration and $100 Deposit deadline is January 11th.
The cost is $400 per person. Fundraising opportunities and scholarships are available. We never want money to be the reason a student can't go to camp!
Fall Fundraiser: As son as you register you can start the fundraiser we are doing with Rusty Eck Ford. We are selling $10 raffle tickets to win a Truck or SUV from Rusty Eck Ford. Every dollar you earn for each ticket goes directly to your camp fund. Contact Bryant for details on how to get started.
Spring: Details TBD, stay tuned.
