Rekindle 2026 begins this Sunday evening at Cross Oak Camp, and we'd love to see you there!

Whether you can join us for the entire week or simply come for a service or two, Rekindle is designed to help you reignite your faith, refresh your spirit, and rekindle your passion for Jesus.

This year's gathering features outstanding preaching from Kim Smith and Tara Smith, a dynamic father-daughter team, along with a daily Coffee & Conversation Bible discussion led by Brett Smith, Tara's husband.

In addition to inspiring worship and biblical teaching, you'll enjoy:

Fellowship with friends from across the district
Family-friendly activities throughout each day
Great food in the dining hall
Campfires, movies, games, and special evening events
Children's programming during every service
Opportunities to tour the exciting improvements taking place around Cross Oak Camp
The week kicks off Sunday at 6:00 PM with our opening service, followed by FREE ice cream for everyone! Then Monday through Wednesday, we'll gather each morning and evening for worship, teaching, and plenty of opportunities to connect and recharge.

I've included the latest promotional flyer and schedule below. Please share them with your congregation this weekend and encourage people to join us.

Whether you're feeling spiritually full or running on empty, we believe God has something special for you at Rekindle.

Join us July 19 - 22 as we step away from the noise of everyday life to gather as families, worship together, hear from a special family of speakers (look for more info in the following days), and simply make space for God to move. Whether you came feeling strong in your faith or running a little low on spiritual fuel, our prayer is the same — that something in your heart, your home, and your walk with Jesus would be REKINDLED. Let’s lean in together and believe that God has something fresh for every one of us this week.

Registration is not required for Camp Gathering.
