About Quest
Quest is an annual Christ-centered summer youth conference for Middle School students. It is hosted at the Bonclarken Conference Center in Flat Rock, NC. Students lodge and attend conferences activities with their church group. There are no camp counselors provided for Quest.
Our conference includes daily morning and evening large group sessions which consist of games, skits, a time of singing praises to God, and Christ-centered teaching. Morning seminars focus on a variety of theological topics. Throughout the week there are planned fellowship activities and unstructured time for recreation.
Band
Crossings Community
For years Brandon Auten and the Crossings Community Church band have led Quest and Horizon in singing during our large group sessions. We welcome them back this year as they lead us in music singing classic, updated hymns to newer contemporary songs to the glory of God. We are thankful to have them with us again!
