Girls WKND 2024
November 15-17
Girls WKND is going to be a special weekend for middle and high school girls you do not want to miss! Join us November 15-17 as we grow deeper in our love for the Lord and understanding of who He has made us to be.
Our high school students are heading back to Pigeon Forge again for another exciting three days at the Strength to Stand Conference, featuring speakers and musical guests like Scott Dawson, David Nassar, Levi Lusko, KB, Crowder, and more.
We are excited to announce this summer international mission opportunity especially for high school students and their parents. This mission experience in the DR will include serving the adults and children of villages all around the area through Bible clubs, food distribution, movie nights, street ministry, and so much more.
Interest meetings for this trip will happen on Sunday, November 17th and November 24th (both at 12:45pm).
SLU 101 provides a year’s worth of leadership development in just 4 days. This dynamic experience allows attendees to learn from world-class thought leaders in creative and participatory environments inside and outside of the conference room. SLU teaches each student practical and relational life skills to change the way they think, dream and lead at the feet of Jesus.
