REVIVAL GENERATION

Student Life Camp Theme 2024

A movement is happening around the world and you can be a part of it. In 2024 at Student Life Camp, we are looking to scripture to see how the God of revival redeems His people and how we fit His plan to redeem the world.
Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” - John 8:12

Cross Point Music

Worship Leader
Cross Point Music—a collective of nearly 400 volunteer musicians, vocalists and songwriters anchored by worship leaders Mike Grayson and Cheryl Stark—serves the 10,000 people who call Cross Point home across six campuses in Nashville and surrounding areas like Franklin, Bellevue, Dickson, Mt. Juliet and Hendersonville.
“At the core, we’re passionate about worship and want our songs to give the church words and melodies that help express their relationship with Jesus,” says Cross Point Music Coordinator Cheryl Stark.

What makes Student Life Rec Camp different? INTENTIONALITY.

Rec Camp is crafted for students to be better together through team-building activities and LOTS of fun. We design these moments on the rec field to foster intentional discipleship opportunities within your Life Groups while at camp. Rec games are facilitated by Student Life staff with no special skills or athleticism required for students to participate. Activities are intentionally created so everyone can be a part of the action. Will your Squad win the Rec Cup?!
