IGNITE Youth Rally

Friday, March 13th our youth joined hundreds of other youth from around Indiana to experience Indiana Wesleyan University's IGNITE Youth Rally. This sold out event was well put together and included a variety of Christian bands from "Nevertheless" to "Connersvine" to "Pillar". We had a ton of fun listening to these high energy bands!! Most of our students enjoyed rocking out with Pillar, which was one of the great highlights of the night. Another highlight was getting to hear the speaker Darren Whitehead from Willow Creek Church in Chicago. Darren, who's originally from Australia, challenged the students to develop a deeper understanding of God's love for all them. He shared with the students how it doesn't matter how filthy you think you are on the inside or outside, God's arms are open wide waiting for us to just accept His love. Our students left challenged to think about their lives and how God cleans up the junk!
