MAIN EVENT
You are here: Home >> Summer
Doors open at 7 pm, event begins at 8:35 pm.
A dynamic student gathering of over 1,000 teenagers meeting weekly during the summer months. An event filled with lights, engaging music, skits, and relevant gospel teaching where gifted communicators share the powerful reality of a relationship with Jesus Christ on a weekly basis. You’ve got to experience it to believe it!
If you would like to assure that your group can sit together, we will save you seats in the back half of Strickland Auditorium. Call the GP office the week before, and let us know how many seats you want saved. If your seats are not occupied by 7:45 pm, we will open these up to the general public. Without reservations, seats will be available first come, first serve. Each week we are going to leave the front few rows for kids who come without a youth group. Our air conditioned tent will be cooled off and ready for your group by 6:00pm, if you want to get to Epworth early and hang out.
The Main Event takes place on Sunday nights at Strickland Auditorium at Epworth-by-the-Sea on St. Simons Island.
