Sending young people out into their world, spiritually nurtured, fed, and equipped to live out their faith and share it with those around them.

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!

Speaker

Rev. Josh Smith

Josh Smith is the pastor of King’s Church ARP in Columbia, SC. He and his beautiful wife, Amanda, have been married for 21 years and they have seven children. Pastor Josh likes all kinds of music and great stories — whether books or movies. He enjoys playing piano and guitar when he gets the chance and he is particularly fond of getting funny looks from strangers when his family of 9 goes out together. Their family van seats 12 and has a sticker on the back that says, “I used to be cool.” It’s mostly true.
