Whitewater (High School Ministry)
It’s the life we live. Wild waves, rocks, dangerous rapids, whirlpools that suck you down. Where are you going to find some solid ground? Where are you going fund fun and adventure? How about jumping into a raft? Grab a lifejacket and a paddle, get to know your fellow rafters and the guide, and dig in! Now instead of getting tossed around the waves, you have friends who will pull you back in! Friends who will scream with you during the harshest rapids, friends who will sit on a rock and listen. There is nothing more fun that being ON the water instead of under it. White water provides you a place to be on the water. Enjoying each other and enjoying Jesus in the river of life!
