OUR SPIRIT

The heart of APEX is to bring students in grades 7-12 into an impactful week with the Lord.  The APEX experience forms around three simple ideas: Come, Learn, and Live.

Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths. 

Isaiah 2:3

 

APEX was born out of the desire to see students encounter God in worship and community. This week will challenge students to live faithfully at camp and when they return home.
