The theme of this new school year will be “Fuel the Fire,” continuing the Summer Games Camp theme. This year at 4:12, we want to keep growing in our faith and fueling the fire for God in our hearts.

Matthew 3:11

“I baptize you with^[a] water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with^[b] the Holy Spirit and fire.

Fueling the fire of God's Spirit in our lives means continually nurturing our passion for God through prayer, Scripture, and worship. Like a fire that needs constant tending, our spiritual fervor grows as we intentionally draw closer to God. This daily commitment empowers us to live boldly for Christ and reflect His love in the world. By keeping this fire alive, we allow God's Spirit to work powerfully in and through us, transforming our lives and the lives of others.

All 4:12 parents are encouraged to join us for a gathering to meet the leaders and talk about this year of ministry at 4:12. Our goal as a Youth Ministry is to partner with parents to disciple young people to follow Jesus. We look forward to meeting you, listening to you, and discussing how we can support you and your child better. We hope to see you!
