THIS YEAR'S THEME
But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
John 4:23-24
Eternity is a long time... an unfathomably long time. What could we possibly be doing for that time? This Bible passage gives us this insight from our Lord and Savior Jesus' own words. The day is coming when we will finally do what we were designed to do - worship the one true God. The God who created us, loved us, and made Himself known to us. Like the title says, worship is more than the songs we sing at church and youth group. Worship is the vibrant and joyous response to who God is and what He has done. And worship is not just a personal response, but a celebration that is enjoyed with all followers of Jesus - of all tribes, tongues, and nations. What better way to start practicing true worship on earth than at CBM camp!

Workshops
Click the boxes below to read the full descriptions of each workshop.
+ *cancelling cancel culture (Tu/W)
We live in a society that preaches tolerance and acceptance, but what we have found is that tolerance and acceptance is often conditional. If someone does or says something we do not agree with, there is a real possibility of being canceled! In fact, when we are wronged or upset about a perceived injustice, we may be tempted to want to cancel others ourselves! But is canceling other people the only option or is there another way to relate to those the world wants to cancel? Discover what God’s Word has to say about whether cancel culture is the best way to relate with others!
+ *finna study my bible (Tu/W)
What is truth? Perhaps you have been asked this question by your friends or perhaps you are wondering this yourself! The Bible claims to be the true Word of God, but how do we know it is true? How do we know we can trust it? Can we even know for sure whether we can trust the Bible? Come find out!
+ *TFW... you serve others (Tu/W)
Jesus Christ revolutionized and changed the way we live. While on this earth, He revealed to us what it meant to live a godly life including taking what was common practice in the world and turning them upside down. The world tells us success is being the boss, being on top, and having others do your bidding. However, when we read the Bible we read passages like Mark 9:35:
"And he [Jesus] said to them, "If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."
We're going to explore why it is important that we serve others, how we are blessed by blessing others, and think about how you can serve God even now!
+ *bigbrain choices (Th/F)
Life is full of choices. What interests or hobbies do I want to invest my time in? What should I do after school? Who should I choose to be friends? What do I want to be when I grow up? What should my boba order be? Ok, the last one is pretty easy, but with all these decisions that we have to make, how can we make decisions that honor God? Explore principles of godly decision making with us in this workshop!
+ *Mission Possible: understood the assignment (Th/F)
The task of bringing the gospel to the ends of the earth seems like a difficult, if not impossible task. But, by the grace of God, proclaiming the Gospel to the people is not impossible! In fact it is very possible! Discover what the Bible has to say about missions and learn how we might do our part to bring the good news of the Gospel to the people in our mission field!
+ *tryna be good enough (Th/F)
We go to church on Sunday. We attend fellowship. We read our Bibles. We generally do not do bad things. Surely God is pleased with us because we have believed in Jesus, right? Surely we are in a better spot than other people, right? Or do the sins in our life actually make the distance between us and God bigger? Which one is it? Come explore the greatness of God’s grace for our entire lives with us!
