Spiritual Outreach
Equipping youth workers and teens to be used by God in the lives of others.
The Spiritual Outreach Office exists to provide resources for youth ministers, teachers, volunteers, parents, and teens to enrich their life and the lives of others for Christ. Some of the resources we offer to accomplish these goals include IMPACT, Youth Minister Luncheons and Youth Minister Renewals.
IMPACT is a summer event at Lipscomb designed to provide an atmosphere for teens that enables the development of a personal faith, which will impact their world for Christ.
It began in 1992 with 250 campers, counselors, and adults coming together to worship. The main focus of IMPACT is Christ. Whether it is through prayer, praise, classes, or the messages of the speakers, IMPACT week has been one that teens cherish.
The IMPACT theme is always a mystery till the curtain opens. The theme is developed with varied emphasis on different elements of Christian faith from evangelism and textual studies to spiritual development. As well as classes, speakers and worship, campers will enjoy morning Impact which has become the comic break of the day. There is also the Coffee House where Christian groups perform in an intimate environment and campers can attend at their leisure.
We are excited about the next year of IMPACT and pray that it will be a week that brings glory to Christ and provides special memories for years to come.
