This will be a combined ELEVATE, and from 6:00-8:00pm in the gym, we will honor our seniors will a lovely meal, fun games, and a little bit of fun at our graduates expense (all in good taste, of course!) Bring $5 for dinner and get ready for a meaningful night as we honor our graduating seniors!
Summer Missions & Camp
This summer in ELEVATE Student Ministries we will be going out to four places around North America that desperately need to know God either for the first time or in a new way. We as students will be learning how to better serve a lost and dying world through sacrificing our time, energy and money to be able to connect with people in Orlando, Tampa and Boston and make a meaningful difference in their lives. The incredible thing about the God we serve is that when we bless others, He blesses us as well, and we will come back from these trips changed.

SOUL on the Streets (all grades 6th –12th) On July 22-27, We will be continuing our local mission trip tradition with a few extra elements added. Each morning our students will help implement the VBS program at our South Street campus, which also serves as our HQ for the trip.

Stock Program
The total cost of our summer trips this year is approximately $30,000. In order to keep costs down and allow our students to participate, we will be performing several forms of fundraising. The main method for raising this money is through the sale of stock. Each participant will write 25+ people a letter and enclose a “Stock Brochure.” The brochure will include a color picture and information about the participant as well as details about the mission project or trip in which they will be participating. In the brochure, the recipient is asked to consider purchasing one or more “shares of stock” for $10 a share.
