This is an exciting time for you as you prepare to finish high school and move on to the next set of adventures life has in store. During your senior year, deep questions will continue to present themselves in new ways. Shouldn't faith have something to say about these big questions?
Footsteps of Faith is a way in which we can investigate our questions together through the lenses of faith and theology. The experience will challenge us all to think on a completely different level about life and all we do.
This journey is led by the Senior Lake Fellows, as well as the Youth Staff but is dependent on your engagement.
Footsteps is a journey. We will take a trek through the life of the early church, the Acts of the Apostles, and the writings of the apostles. In these sources we hear the earliest stories of the Christian faith and hear our own lives echoed in the voices of the ancients. The Footsteps journey culminates with a trip to Greece, Turkey and Italy to walk in the footsteps of the apostles. The Footsteps journey has the potential to be truly transformative for all willing to invest themselves in it. You will be amazed at what you discover about yourself, others, faith, and God.
The journey will entail Sunday morning gatherings, a fall retreat, special group trips, and occasional reflection assignments during the week. Please think about your schedule and the time you have available this year. We want you to participate, but this experience will require your commitment.
We appreciate your honesty and depth of thought as you consider applying. The application is designed to give the leaders a better understanding of why you want to participate and what you wish to gain from this experience.
