Join us for Basic Training April 25-27 2025! Jesus loves messy people! That’s good news for us, because we all have our own messes. Basic Training 2025 is going to be messy and about how Jesus deals with our messes; our sins, mistakes, and weaknesses. Throughout the weekend we will look at the following questions:

•Why is the world such a messy place?

•How does Jesus respond to our messiest moments?

•How should we respond to our messes?

•What does Jesus do about our messes?

•What about other people’s messes?

All the while, we are going to have lots of messy fun, with messy snacks, games, crafts, and more!
