HBA conference is a great weekend where you can deepen your faith. I love all the break out sessions they offer and each one helps me understand more about God’s word.

I love how we as young teens can stand up and praise the lord, without getting embarrassed. I love to hear all of the voices singing! And hanging with everybody!

Ridgecrest is a very fun weekend, my favorite part is the fellowship of everyone being immersed within the gospel. The experience is eye-opening for my faith and spiritual growth
