As we celebrate our 50th year of ministry, we thank God for His faithfulness and for partners like you who have said yes to serving, praying, and giving. This summer, 791 children and teenagers participated in day camp, overnight camp, and teen leadership programs—all at no cost to their families. Through new friendships, caring relationships, and time in God’s Word, they were encouraged to know and follow Jesus.

These relationships continue through Teen Night Together (TNT), our weekly school-year ministry for middle and high school students. About 50 teens gather each week at our FVCA campus or Aurora location to share dinner, study the Bible, develop life skills, and build meaningful friendships. This year, we are using the Bible Study cirriculumn RE:Frame to help teens dig into their Bibles and reframe how they think, look at the world, and treat others. Caring volunteer leaders listen, pray, and walk alongside them as they grow in their relationships with Jesus and others.

Your year-end gift helps keep camp and school-year programs free for families, giving children and teens opportunities to grow in faith, leadership, and life skills. Between now and December 31, 2026, we are asking the Lord to provide $400,000 to meet our year-end needs and prepare for the ministry opportunities ahead in 2027. Would you prayerfully consider making your most generous gift today?

Thank you for being part of the first 50 years—and for partnering with us as we look ahead with faith and hope to the next 50!
