    All about the Heroes of the Faith.

    Join us on the trip of a lifetime that will allow parents and their junior high/high school-aged students to learn alongside each other as we study amazing heroes of the Christian faith. This is a trip specifically designed for parents to bring their 14-18-year-old students with them as you both experience learning together. 

    What better way to mold their faith than to walk alongside them as you immerse yourself in the stories of men and women who were used by God in a mighty way–leaders such as C.S. Lewis, William Wilberforce, John Wesley, and more. 

    Deepen your faith and your relationship with your student as you both engage in interactive activities throughout the trip that will allow you to thoroughly enjoy learning and have fun, too!
