I promise you all that it will be a week that you will remember for the rest of your lives. This week long camp is brought to you by the same folks that put on Chilipepper. So if you liked Chilipepper then you will absolutely love a week at SeeSalt.

New discipleship groups

Last night at CrossWalk we kicked off new discipleship groups. Each group is tackling a different book of the bible and growing deeper in our walk with Christ. Instead of 2 groups in the past we now have 4 groups. We have divided by gender and age. I am looking forward to a time of growth and renewal in our groups. Please come join us we want you to grow with us.
