Sign up begins this Sunday. Cost is $100 ($80 if you have a KD season pass) and includes the conference, hotel stay, a YEC T-shirt, KD pass and an all-you-can-eat dinner for Friday night at KD.

Vacation Bible School (VBS)



VBS is July 7-11 and we need your help! VBS is a great opportunity for children to hear about Jesus and for youth to use their gifts in service! Sign up to be a worker for VBS starts this Sunday!

There will be a mandatory Youth VBS Worker Orientation at the end of FaithStation on Sunday, June 29. If you are or will be age 18 by VBS, you must complete the Protection Policy training that will be offered Sunday, June 29 at 10 AM in Whitten Hall.

Father's Day Contest

If you haven't done so yet, start thinking now about the Father's Day Contest!

These guidelines will apply:
  • Do something special with/for your dad (or other special man in your life - grandfather, uncle, etc.)
  • Take a picture with your dad during the something special you do
  • Send the picture and a brief description of what you did to me
We'll have a random drawing of all the entries received while we are at IMPACT. The winning dad and youth will both win prizes!

IMPACT Virginia! Commissioning



IMPACT commissioning will take place Sunday, June 15, during the morning worship service. Please make every effort to be a part of this special time and invite your family to share in the moment as well.
