I’ve gotten to serve in tons of different capacities, including 2 years with Student Life Camps, and I’m excited to see what the Lord does this week of camp as we chase after our near friend, the Holy Spirit!

Throughout the week we will explore the different kinds of songs, levels of hype, and ways to worship the Lord!
