CREWS

SPRING CREWS

Crews are our way to develop friendships and community within the church. We believe being in relationship with others is key to growing our relationship with Jesus. Our crews are broken down into three categories:

STUDY
Study crews focus on building connections through learning and growing together. They'll cover topics chosen by some of our pastors like marriage, finances, family, and Bible studies.

FRIENDSHIP
Friendship crews focus on building connections through quality time spent together (coffee shop hangouts, eating meals together, etc…).

ACTIVITY
Activity crews will focus on building connections through shared experiences, activities and/or events.

The purpose of this trip is to host a fun and impactful Kid's Camp for over 250 children in Niger. Throughout the camp, we will be performing skits, teaching the kids about Jesus, playing games, and organizing crafts. These children are from the capital Niamey and surrounding villages and are part of the Vie Abondante Ministry. We have been hosting this camp for the past seven years and are seeing children develop into leaders at the camp and then on to attend discipleship classes where they are trained at the Leadership School of Vie Abondante. If you are interested in joining this team, we would love to invite you to join this crew. We will be gathering this fall to provide you with more information about the trip and to give you the opportunity to apply to be a part of this team!

CREW LEADERS

Empower others by leading a crew. We believe the heart of leadership is being a servant, not having everything together. If you are passionate about doing life in community, we want to equip you to cultivate that in your own way.
