Gospel proclamation and invitation are a hallmark of Falls Creek Youth Camp.
Each night in the summer, students respond to the Good News of Jesus and begin a new life in Him.
Decisions and Gospel work at Falls Creek do not end there. Students make other decisions in obedience to the Lord’s leading and have many opportunities to grow spiritually beyond their first steps of faith into further steps of obedience. Falls Creek Youth Camp serves as a fertile ground for release into life as a disciple maker.
A youth camp week offers over twenty added growth moments through various trainings, missions education and mobilization, breakouts on numerous topics related to areas of the Christian life, decision encouraging, prayer and evangelism opportunities and resources that help students take next steps into everyday life back home.
Added growth and release opportunities also happen in cabins. Many leaders use Falls Creek Youth Camp as a way to hand over leadership and investment to students, allowing them to make disciples by serving on the decision team, teaching in cabin, giving their testimony, presenting the Gospel or leading small groups.
Mission sending is a major emphasis at Falls Creek Youth Camp. Students can connect with mission action steps at one of three mission venues which include prayer for the nations, practical mission projects, missions education, giving to the student mission offering and more.
For more than 20 years, the heightened attention to missions has resulted in hundreds of churches and thousands of students mobilized through mission efforts for over 20 years. This missional emphasis of calling out the called allows Falls Creek to continue to be among the largest sending grounds for students and adults to full time missions and ministry. The impact is generational
and global.
Leaders and churches have an incredibly rich opportunity to turn a week of camp into an on-ramp to a disciple-making pathway, helping students who are changed by the power of God, pursue the Lord, connect in relationship, grow in their experiential knowledge of life in Christ, and release into the disciple-making life God has designed for His followers.
Pray that God continues to move this summer at Falls Creek. For more information, visit oklahomabaptists.org/youthcamp
