Servant Events
AoC Servant Event
June 24-29, 2012*
Open to: Senior High
Adventures on the Coast Servant Event is a week long experience that pairs servant opportunities with fun west coast adventure options. Servants participate in service projects at Mt. Cross and also travel off-site to unique servant opportunities that help the members of our local community. Servants will have a chance to relax and have fun by choosing 1 or 2 special west coast activities: including surfing, kayaking, playing at the beach, a beach bonfire, high ropes and more. To round out this wonderful experience, servants will enjoy a daily Bible study, evening devotions, and group time to help them process this week of service, excitement and spiritual growth.
