ReBoot Recovery
REBOOT is a 12-week, faith-based, peer-led course empowering everyday people to overcome trauma and embrace a brighter future. Too many never really heal from trauma, and trauma ends up controlling their lives. Maybe that’s you. Through practical teaching and a supportive community, REBOOT can help you begin to break free from the pain of your past and find renewed purpose and strength. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.

Crave Winter Retreat
Hey Crave Students & Parents! We're excited to announce that we're trying something new this year - Winter Retreat! On February 6th-8th, Crave is going to be a part of Lake Geneva Youth Camp's Above (Winter Retreat). We get to go be a part of this awesome retreat where they provide lodging, food, a speaker, winter outdoor activities, and worship! This retreat will include other youth groups that will be there while we are there, so it will allow us to meet new people and make new friends.
Crave One Night
One Night is a network-wide youth gathering for any students in 6th - 12th grades. We will have fun games, prizes, and free food!
Most importantly, we will worship the Lord passionately with faith that He wants to see us free and redeemed! We will be taught that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We are called to be lights in dark places, and we can do that through the freedom of salvation. Your student will not want to miss this!
Men's Retreat - Freeport
The Crucible: Building Men of Faith, Focus, and Fire: In the heat of life, true strength is forged.
The Crucible is a call to men ready to step out of distraction and into purpose—where the pressures of life aren't avoided but embraced as the very fire God uses to form fathers, leaders, and men of conviction.
This isn’t about hype or hustle. It’s about returning to the basics: grounding yourself in God’s Word, leading your home with clarity, and living with unshakable focus. Like metal refined by fire, this is where men are shaped—stripped of what’s shallow and strengthened for what matters most.
Women's Conference - Freeport
You are invited to join us in the main auditorium for the Build My Life Women’s Conference! We will enjoy meaningful times of worship and sessions featuring our own Mary Thom, Julie Kleier, and Jen Woodward.
We hope to see you at the conference, where we will gather to be refreshed as we build our lives on the Lord!
