LEAD – Leading the Way!

🌟 Exciting News from Sugar Creek! 🌟

Over the past two summers, our LEAD program (Leaders Engaged as Disciples) has been empowering high school students to become confident, faith-filled leaders! This 4-week adventure offers hands-on experience in camp roles, from assisting with day camps to shadowing counselors.

We're thrilled to announce that this summer, three former LEAD participants are officially joining our summer staff! Their incredible growth has already caught the attention of pastors, youth directors, and community leaders alike.

LEAD alumni have gone on to:

Plan worship services for peers
Lead Bible studies
Mentor Sunday School students
Step up as mission trip leaders
Organize Vacation Bible School programs

The joy of witnessing these young leaders flourish is unparalleled! As they progress, they declare, “I didn’t know I could do this!” and “I had no idea I could make this kind of difference.”

Join us in celebrating the blooming leadership and passion for service of our young disciples! 🌱💖 #LEADProgram #FutureLeaders #SugarCreekBibleCamp
