What is ONEWEEK?
July 24-28, 2023
ONEWEEK exists to see lives changed by Jesus. We believe if students were to give one week of their summer, God can change their lives forever.
While at ONEWEEK, students will build relationships and gain an understanding of Jesus on their level in a welcoming and enjoyable environment. So save the date and register to secure your student’s spot today.

Pray with us as we prepare the way for students, staff, and leaders to join us for ONEWEEK23.
Here are some ways you can be praying with us leading up to and during ONEWEEK23:
- For students to have open hearts and minds to learn and grow through the week
- For the Lord to reveal His Word to share through each speaker
- For leaders in our church to rise up to invest in what the Lord is already doing in this next generation
- For every decision made as a staff/key leadership to be made from prayer
- Our preparation would be a reflection of the Lord's goodness and bring Him glory
- To see lives changed by Jesus!
