Pre-Conference Workshop
Friday, August 14 from 1:00 pm- 4:00 pm
“Five Core Principals for Missional Movement”
Presenter: Ryan Braught
CEUs for Clergy (0.3 CEUs)

Everywhere you turn, there’s a new church model, framework, or strategy promising growth, but without a missional mindset, even the best structures struggle to form disciples who live as sent people. In this session, we’ll explore five core principles as the foundational building blocks of missional movement, helping you cultivate leaders, shape culture, and steward mission in ways that fit your unique context.

Hey Inspiration Hills Family! Summer Camp 2026 is right around the corner, and as we celebrate 60 years of ministry, we are getting ready to welcome our campers to experience God in nature. But to make this historic summer a success, we need your help to "Reach Out" and fill a few critical gaps!

SUMMER COUNSELORS NEEDED: We are looking for dedicated, faithful leaders to walk alongside our youth. Could this be you or someone you know? Senior High Camp (June 7–12): Urgent need for both Male & Female counselors. Junior & Junior High Camp (June 14–19): Urgent need for Male counselors.

VOLUNTEER WORK: Our previous volunteer days got us off to a great start, but we still have a mountain of prep to tackle before the campers arrive! Whether you are skilled or just willing to learn, we need hands for: Staining 5 of our seasonal cabins and wooden benches. Fixing lights and installing new lighting in the pavilion. Swapping out dryers in the dining hall. Putting out A/C units to keep our spaces cool. Repairing the human foosball court for ultimate game-time fun. Whether you can give a few hours, a full day, or a week of your summer as a counselor, you are directly investing in the next generation of faith at Inspiration Hills.
