Living The Questions Summer Program

2024 THEME: ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & FAITH

Living The Questions is a place for high school students, who have completed grades 8-12, to feel like they belong to a community and grow into who God has created them to be! Join us this summer for an exciting journey where environmental science meets faith! Dive into discussions about how our faith intersects with pressing environmental issues. Explore questions like: What does it mean to care for the planet as a person of faith? How can we find inspiration and guidance in the Bible regarding caring for creation? Discover practical ways to make an impact and serve your community through creation care.
