Adventure Ministry
Youth Dynamics Adventures’ is designed to challenge and encourage youth and young adults to discover life in Christ using adventure and creation to inspire growth and transformation. We invite you to step out into the beautiful spaces that make up your backyard. Challenge gravity while enjoying the panoramic views offered through rock climbing. Explore the twists and turns of the powerful rivers. Cheer through the wild parts and take advantage of the water’s quiet moments to listen and join in important and deep conversation. No matter what level of adventure you choose, your trip becomes a pivotal launch toward transformation. Adventure forges the backbone of your trip, but quiet, uninterrupted conversation and time to think will bring deep value to your guided activity. If that’s you, we would love for you to reach out to us by email.
