We are so excited to present Student Camp 2025: Gladiator, we will rediscover the deep wells of faith that sustained believers throughout history. Through the book of Romans, we will anchor ourselves in the same unshakable hope that carried the early church through their greatest battles. Their strength wasn’t found in their own power but in the God who never fails.
Are you ready to stand firm, fight the good fight, and cling to a hope that never wavers? Join us and step into the faith of a gladiator.
