ASPIRE KIDS (Elementary School)
The Spark Squad: “Spark Squad is an exciting, high-energy experience just for elementary school students designed to help them discover God’s voice and find their identity as mighty leaders. Through powerful storytelling, hands-on crafts, fun games, engaging worship, and heart-led service projects, kids will grow in faith, confidence, and compassion. Each day, Spark Squad dives into a new adventure rooted in Scripture and real-life skills, like building trust, making wise choices, caring for their bodies, and using their voices to encourage others. From bracelet-making and obstacle courses to smoothie bowls and glow parties, students will learn that even though they may be small in size, God’s power in them is BIG. A spark that ignites identity, connection, and purpose. And your child is invited to RISE.
ASPIRE YOUTH (Middle School)
“The Iron Squad”: During this learning experience, students will embark on a week-long spiritual journey designed to engage, empower, and equip young people to discover their purpose, embrace their identity in Christ, and become bold leaders in their communities. Through interactive sessions, biblical lessons, creative expression, and meaningful discussion, students explore what it means to lead with courage, serve with compassion, and develop a sense of identity.
ASPIRE TEENS (High School)
“The Electrons”: It’s Electric… The Electrons is a high-energy, purpose-packed experience for students ready to tap into their brilliance and rise as bold, faith-filled leaders. More than just a group, they’re a whole vibe. Through interactive sessions like armor builds, vision boards, trust circles, and team challenges, students will stretch their thinking, deepen their faith, and build real connections. In a world that defines them by what they lack, they’ll discover who they truly are as chosen, seen, and called by God to lead the world. This week is all about identity, purpose, and transformation from the inside out. The charge is real, and The Electrons are ready.
Adults
The Elements: “The Elements” are essential forces shaping faith, family, and community; by bringing something powerful, unique, and necessary to the movement of God among us. Every element of the Adult Learning Experience has been intentionally designed to meet the real challenges faced by adults who are called to lead, mentor, and build intergenerational communities.
Through holistic learning, the experience includes sessions like Grace in Transition and Pass It On, to address emotional resilience and intergenerational mentorship. In Write the Vision and Stewardship of Integrity, we tackle the practical skills needed to sustain ministry; financially and faithfully.
