What is LEAP??
LEAP is a week-long summer workshop series for 7th-12th graders. Each student chooses a skills-based workshop to attend each morning and has the opportunity to learn from skilled volunteers. Past morning workshops have included automotive, STEM, sewing, crochet, improv dramedy, and many more! After a lunch break, students have a block of group games and a block of instruction. Our afternoon sessions address common life experiences among teens, equipping them to navigate challenges and cultivate core values through a Christ-centered perspective of love, endurance, authenticity, and perseverance. Each student who attends LEAP receives a giveaway from their workshop, a certificate of completion, and has the opportunity to display a project from their morning workshop on Friday afternoon at our LEAP open house, which is open to families and the church community.
During LEAP students going into 7th-12th will: Learn skills during specific workshops. Experience new friendships and relationships. Be an Apprentice to skilled and qualified leaders in one of the specialized workshops. And finally, our goal is to help Prepare students for life.

Art Studio
Painter's Workshop
Students will explore a variety of artistic techniques using pencil, watercolor, and acrylic paint. Through guided projects such as landscapes, still life tablescapes, and portraits, students will build foundational skills while expressing their creativity.
Creative Writing
for Stage, Screen & Storytelling
Students are invited to explore storytelling through poetry, monologues, dialogue, commercials, scripts and more. Through hands-on activities, students will learn how writers use emotion, point of view, imagery and the five senses to create stories that truly connect with people. Together, we’ll explore how storytelling appears everywhere, from stage and screen to advertising and Scripture, and how Jesus used stories to help people feel seen, heard, and understood.
Laptops are allowed and encouraged during work time; however, you do not need your own computer to participate.
