No LIMITS EXchange

Our teens are a generation at risk and they need a strong foundation in Jesus Christ to succeed.  Therefore, we have designed ministries just for them.

Each year, East Valley Foursquare Church is involved with several retreats for area youth.  We host a Girls' Retreat (Beauty Ablaze) and a Boys' Retreat (Epic) each year, as well as participating in retreats hosted by other churches.  Check out the photos below from Beauty Ablaze and Awakening last year, and watch this space for information on upcoming youth events!

Beauty Ablaze, 2009

There's not a lot of downtime at our youth retreats! 

Here are a couple of images from some of the teachings:

We get them up and moving (the youth leaders too) every morning with some team building physical exercise!

It's not all work and no play, though!  We have an annual competition to see who can make their group leader look the weirdest!  Our youth leaders are all really good sports!

Ahh, here are some of our leaders and youth hard at work!

At Beauty Ablaze, we also hold a formal dinner for our girls, where they're treated like the princesses they are (yes, even the leaders)!

Awakening, 2009

We also bus a bunch of youth to Missoula for the Awakening Retreat!  This time of worship and fun is a great way for our youth to really connect with God!

(I'm sure there's something scriptural about paintball)

Well, there's certainly something scriptural about worshipping God!

Here are some shots of our youth leaders during and after the retreat:

Pastor Bonnie talks to the youth!

Maybe these two have done one too many retreats!

Yes, folks, these are the people you entrust your kids to.
