2026 Youth Camp’s Theme & Speaker
seek his kingdom. walk in freedom.
We live in a world paralyzed by choices. What show to stream. What music to listen to. What shoes to buy. What sport to pursue. What instrument to practice. How to spend your free time, let alone what friends, car, degree, city, job, or spouse to choose. You are told that you can be anything, go anywhere, and do anything, but you are also terrified of making the wrong move. What if you step outside of God’s will? What if you turn the wrong way and miss out on God’s "true calling" for your life?
In the midst of these dizzying fears, we freeze. We stand paralyzed in front of big decisions, waiting for a sign, a feeling, or a voice from heaven to tell us exactly what to do. You crave certainty about the future and hope that God will reveal a glimpse of His secret plan. We are afraid to trust God with the unknown. But the Bible calls us to something radically different.
Matthew 6:33 - But Seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
What if, rather than freezing in fear or waiting for a sign, you were given the freedom to choose? What if, instead of waiting for certainty about the future, you were called to simply SEEK the God who holds the future and then WALK in the freedom of wisdom?
This year at OneThing274: Seek, we will tackle the paralysis that comes from trying to predict the future. God has not hidden His will from you like a puzzle to be solved; He has revealed it in His Word to be obeyed. Paired with Kevin DeYoung’s Just Do Something, we will see how the gospel frees us from the anxiety of the unknown. We will learn to stop looking for signs and start looking to Christ. You will be challenged to stop waiting for a writing in the sky and start walking in the wisdom God has already given you.
Of course, camp wouldn’t be the same without some adventure! Not only will you enjoy Glorieta’s many activities each day, but you’ll also have plenty of time for team games, late-night hangouts, and unforgettable memories.
So come. Stop worrying. Start living. Come and see that God is not a Magic 8-Ball, but a loving Father. Come and discover the freedom of knowing you don't have to know the future to be faithful in the present. Come and see how to SEEK His Kingdom and then walk in freedom.

Similar to last year, we are excited to have youth pastors from attending churches leading the sessions. Each of these pastors brings a deep love for Christ, a passion for discipling students, and a commitment to equipping the next generation to know and share the gospel.
