Elevate
January 14 - 16, 5:00 pm - 12:00 pm 2022
Elevate is a weekend long disciple now designed for student’s 7th – 12th grade. Our goal is to point students towards Christ through biblical teaching, worship, fellowship, and fun. During Elevate, students will stay at a host home with a small group of other students and leaders. Students will engage in teaching and worship, a service project, small group discussion, and tons of fun activities throughout the weekend. Elevate will be held on January 14th – 16th.
This year’s guest speaker is Warren Gasaway. Warren is currently the Head Student Ministry Specialist at the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. He is also the Executive director of Super Summer Arkansas, the ABSC’s summer camp for students. Before starting at the ABSC, Gasaway was a student pastor in Waldron and El Dorado. He has years of experience with students and is excited to bring that experience with him to Marion this January.
We also have Onward Worship coming to lead us in worship for the weekend. Onward Worship is a worship band based out of South Arkansas. Their goal is to lead you in faithful, authentic, and biblical worship, celebrating what God has done, and continuing to move onward in our walks with Jesus Christ, who died for sins so that we could have eternal life with him if we believe and confess.
We are so excited to have Warren and Onward come lead us toward Jesus this year at Elevate.
The theme this year for Elevate is “Dangerous Discipleship”. The theme verse is:
Matthew 16:24
“Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”
We are going to dig into what it looks like to follow Jesus in a culture today that tells us that “I am the center of the universe” and that “everything is about me”. The Bible clearly dispels that, and over the weekend we are going to dig into how we can practically live out our faith in a world that tells us that it is all about me.
