We are going back to Beulah Beach in Vermillion, Ohio on August 14-15, 2026, for Jesus Weekend this year! We’re thrilled to invite the youth and young adults of our church family to this time set apart to fall in first love with Jesus.
The last three years of this event have been marked by powerful encounters with the Lord, passionate worship for Jesus, and authentic community. Come join us for a weekend full of fellowship, fun, and encouragement as we dive into sessions focused on Jesus, our King.
