CAMP SNOWBIRD
Rising 8 - 12 graders
Forge Student Ministry takes part each year in Camp Snowbirds Missions and Outreach program.
"Snowbird Missions and Outreach is a service program focused on relational ministry and intentional time in the Word of God. We provide outlets for students to serve through weeklong missions projects, but the project is secondary to our goal of pointing students to Jesus. Whether painting a house, repairing a roof or building a handicap ramp, we teach students to grow in an unwavering understanding of the Gospel. We pursue this goal through solid biblical teaching and personal staff-student relationships both on and off the job site."
We enjoy the fact that our students not only get to experience one of the best summer camps
but learn to serve at the same time.

In this book, Pastor Joby walks through what the Bible means when it says, ‘be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, and let all that you do be done in love’ (1 Corinthians 16:13). He guides readers through what scripture says about who men are, how they should act, and what it means to be a man in today’s culture, and he asks tough questions about how God calls men to respond.
Stand Firm and Act Like Men is a call for men to rediscover Biblical manhood in their churches and cities, and to love, serve, and support their families and one another. -
