Creation Festival 2010


Trip Details

During the last week of June, the Creation Festival will be held at Agape Farms in Mount Union, PA. Hundreds of thousands of people have been spiritually enriched and have made life-changing decisions for Christ during the event.  This event is for 6th through 12th grade. 


Each day is jam packed with music, teaching and activities for all ages including the hottest bands performing on the
Main and Fringe stages, Creation Worships tent, seminars, climbing walls, kids’ activities, vendors, and more! The laid back atmosphere allows you to choose your own pace. Although there is a wide selection of musical artists to choose from each day, The Creation Festival is about much more than music. Creation is also about honoring the Word of God. Each year many fantastic speakers join us at the festival. Their seminars provide a variety of vital and relevant messages to challenge and inspire you in your relationship with the Lord.

The Creation Festival is all about changing lives and glorifying our Creator. Our prayer for CREATION '10 is that people will be changed, restored, and challenged to serve the Lord and to make a difference in this world. Plan on joining us! (Taken from the creation website)

Mission Trips


The Pittsburgh Project 2010 (High School Only)

Trip Details

Get on the road and join us for an urban mission trip in Pittsburgh. Crazy cobblestone streets and soaring steel bridges connect neighborhoods dotted with elderly, isolated residents who need our help. We will spend a weekend along with groups from all over the country rebuilding their homes. We’ll bear witness to God’s great love and see God in action throughout our visit. Each year, the Pittsburgh Project service camps engage over 2500 participants during summer camps, alternative spring break, weekend trips, and one day plunges.   We want to challenge our students to take on a worldview that is underpinned by Christ-like servant leadership. Since its launch in 1985, the Pittsburgh Project has deployed over 26,000 people from 35 states and four countries, and we are privileged to be one of those groups.

We’ll spend our days in service to the city’s elderly, poor, shut-in, widowed, and disabled, addressing home repair needs. Projects usually include painting, dry walling, carpentry, and yard work. They often include minor plumbing or masonry tasks, building wheelchair ramps, fortifying retaining walls, or replacing doors, floors, and windows.  You’ll see the difference you’ve made by the end of your week. You’ll know that God worked through the relationships you’ve built and the work you’ve labored to finish. And you’ll hit the road with a map for how to make a difference in a neighborhood near you.

Date:            Friday April 9th – Sunday April 11th

Depart:         Friday April 9th @ Noon (Lunch not provided)
