BOLD FAITH. WILD PLACES.
Bold Faith, Wild Places is the theme for our 2026 Leavenworth gathering.
Following Jesus has never been about choosing the easy road. Sometimes He leads us down paths we never would have chosen. Those seasons can be uncomfortable, confusing, and painful. But when we look back on the times our faith grew the most, they usually weren’t the easy ones. They were the seasons where we couldn’t see what was around the next bend, and the only thing we could do was take the next step and trust God with the rest.
Maybe that’s one of the reasons we keep coming back to the mountains. Out here, it’s hard to pretend we’re in control. The mountains remind us how small we are. The trails remind us we don’t always know what’s ahead. The wilderness has a way of reminding us how much we depend on God.
Throughout Scripture, God often met people in the wilderness—not because the wilderness was the goal, but because it was where they learned to trust Him.
This weekend isn’t only about the mountains. It’s about Bold Faith lived out in the Wild Places. The wild places aren’t just the ones we’ll hike. They’re the conversations we’ve been avoiding, the decisions we’re unsure about, the seasons we never would have chosen, and the moments where following Jesus asks us to take a step before we know how everything will turn out.
We’ll hike, share meals, stay around the campfire, worship, tell stories, ask honest questions, and spend time with people who are simply trying to follow Jesus together.
Our hope is that you’ll leave Leavenworth trusting God a little more than when you arrived, ready to take the next step of faith, build lasting friendships, and live your faith openly, pointing others to Christ.
Bold Faith isn’t reserved for the mountaintops. It grows in the Wild Places.
