We are so excited for the 2026 Michigan District High School Gathering!
The theme for the 2026 gathering, based on John 4:14, is MIGHTY WATERS: “But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
​
Mackinac Island is the perfect location for this theme. Being surrounded by water on the island, we will be reminded of the peace that water can bring as well as the mighty power and strength of water. But the mighty water of the Straits of Mackinac pales in comparison to the power of water together with God’s Word, and the saving power that we receive through it.
​
When: June 28 - July 1
Where: Mackinac Island, Mission Point Resort
Ages: Current grades 8-12 (2025-26 school year)
Cost: $599 (this price does not include fundraising)

ALIEN FELLOWSHIP
​Youth currently in grades 5-8, travel with us to Frankenmuth for Alien Fellowship. No, we’re not going to visit Area 51 or open any secret government documents on UFOs. Instead, we’re going to discover just how alien we sometimes seem as followers of Jesus Christ to those who do not know Him. Although we’re aliens in this world, we’re not alone. We’re part of a fellowship that is tighter and stronger than any ever written about because Jesus Christ is part of our fellowship! We might be aliens in this world, but our hope is out of this world!
When: July 28-30
Where: Bavarian Inn, Frankenmuth
Who: Current grades 5-8 (2025-26 school year)
Cost: Estimated $150
Deadlines: Early Bird - April 30; Late Reg (+$50) - May 31

KidZone
KidZone
KidZone is open to children age 4 through 4th Grade.
​
Join us In-Person each Sunday morning during our 10:30am service following the Children's Message.
Spiritual transformation happens when kids come to know Jesus, rather than just know about Jesus. Our job is to prepare the soil of kids’ hearts so seeds of faith can grow and a true relationship with Jesus can happen. Every activity, song, and visual in Simply Loved is designed to help kids remember each lesson long after their children’s ministry years.

NURSERY
Nursery available during the 10:30am service to children 3 years old and younger. Those 4 years old and older, please join us at KidZone.
