Event Summary
Join us for Getaway (Grades 6-8) September 27-28!
Getaway is a weekend event for middle school students in grades 6-8 on the campus of Ozark Christian College. Getaway encourages and equips those who minister to youth and challenges youth to pursue life on mission with God, practice Christian service, and build Christian character at a young age. Getaway also recruits more workers for the harvest field, engaging them in Ozark’s mission to train for Christian service.
This year’s theme is “Bear Fruit”. We want this weekend experience to reveal to students how staying connected to Jesus through spiritual practices produces a life that shows him to the world. If we could put the messages for the weekend into one sentence, it would read: A soul connected to Jesus produces a life that glorifies him.
