ARPA Youth Conference 2022 - BC

  Friday, October 14th @ 01:00 pm - Saturday, October 15th @ 03:00 pm
 79/79
 Stepping Stones Bible Camp: 10943 Brooks Road Deroche, British Columbia, Canada

"You are the light of the world.” “Walk as children of light.” “Let your light shine before others.”

The Bible describes fallen humanity as walking in darkness, but that Jesus is the light of the world. After that Light ascended into heaven, He sent His Spirit of Light to dwell in His people so that they might continue to shine the light of truth in the midst of the darkness in all areas of life.

This theme of LIGHT is the theme of this year’s 2022 ARPA Youth Conference in British Columbia. We invite high school students (grades 9-12) to the Stepping Stones Bible Camp in Deroche on October 14-15. Join students from a variety of schools and homes across the province for some food and fellowship, fun and games, lectures and learning, and even an election!

We encourage you to register using the link below. Due to the capacity of the camp, we will only be able to accept 80 students. Students will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis and based on whether they attend a Reformed Christian church.

It’ll be enlightening. It’ll be lit. It’ll be illuminating. We hope to see you there!

As much as possible, we ask you to register using your personal email (Not a parental email or institutional email)

(Example: Use Davey.VanArt@gmail.com not Davey.VanArt@school.com)

We promise we will not send you any newsletters etc. unless you opt-in at a later date.
