Pastor Hilton invites us into the imagery of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, a heavenly celebration that awaits all believers described in Revelation 19. Studying the rich traditions of ancient Jewish weddings, we discover that our relationship with Christ mirrors the sacred covenant between bride and groom. Just as a Jewish bride prepared herself for an unknown hour when her beloved would return, we too are called to live in constant readiness for Christ's return. The seven-day wedding feast becomes a beautiful symbol of completion and perfection, reminding us that God's judgment will be complete and His promises fully realized. We're challenged to examine whether we're truly ready, not through perfection but through surrender and active participation in the body of Christ.

To all the fathers, father figures, spiritual leaders, and anyone who has stepped to lead and love us like a father. Every one of you helps reflect the light of our Heavenly Father and point us back to Him. Thank you for all that you do each and every day.

Happy Father's Day

The early morning rain didn’t stop us from having the most fun day at Kids Camp ever! OMC stands for Organized Mass Chaos and is one of the most fun, messy, and exciting days of all of camp history! There’s shaving cream, there’s frisbees, there’s water balloons, there’s pool noodles, and so much more that create a mass chaos on the rec field for 30 minutes. At the end we are all covered in shaving cream with no voice left. But believe us when we say, it’s the most fun thing you’ll ever get to do at camp!
OMC and Indoor Rec plus free ice cream?? Could you ask for a better day? Thank you to Bethek Baptist Church College and Young Adult Groups for buying us ice cream tonight! It was the perfect way to end a great week at Kids Camp! We can’t wait to get home tomorrow and tell all of our family all the exciting stuff that happened this week!
Thank you CentriKid Camps centrikid for creating memories that go far beyond this week and echo into eternity in these children’s lives!

What a week we’ve had so far! We have learned that God is the Author of all things, including Salvation and Truth! Our kids are learning how God writes a better story than we could ever do on our own and that trusting Him is how we can have the best story ever!
It’s a tradition! .5 Day is here again! We can’t believe we are over half way done with Kids Camp! We celebrated being .5 (point 5) of the way done with .5s (ask your kids about it) and Shaved Ice! We are so excited for OMC Day tomorrow! Let’s just say everyone is getting messy!
CentriKid Camps centrikid is an amazing time for our kids from 2nd -5th grade to enjoy away from the hustle and bustle of summer and spend 5 of the most fun and incredible days to learn more about God and how He wants a relationship with them! We love it here!

Kids Camp Day 2 is in the books! We had morning Worship, Evening Worship, Night Swimming, and a whole mountain of fun in between that can’t fit into 10 pictures!
Between Recreation, Bible Study, Track Times, Hang Times, and 3 meals, we are feeling a different kind of energy up here on the mountain. We are having a blast and can’t wait to see what God has in store for the rest of the week!
The kids did eat nothing but bacon and drank Dr Pepper for breakfast, but don’t worry! Some of us had salads for lunch, so we have balanced it out. Thank you CentriKid Camps centrikid for providing an incredible time and space for kids to come and be free and learn about the freedom we have in Christ Jesus!

Kids Camp Day 1 is in the books! After a quick stop for lunch at McDonalds, the kids were on their way to their destination! Even though the sign said Wyoming, they did not get lost and made it to camp safe and sound where they were thrown right into the mix with free time, an amazing dinner, Kick Off worship and teaching, and Bible Study time with other kids their age and our church as well.
This is an amazing day one and we are so excited to see how Day 2 is going to go!
We love CentriKid Camps centrikid

What are we doing with our faith? Pastor Adam challenges us to examine whether Jesus is merely our Savior who gets us out of hell, or truly our Lord who directs every aspect of our lives. Are we building on the foundation of genuine, obedient faith, or are we simply going through religious motions? This isn't about earning salvation through works, but about living out the genuine faith that transforms us from the inside out.
