After Illuminate, your summers will never be the same. Illuminate offers your group the opportunity to be inspired through worship and challenging messages alongside other youth groups, while performing local service projects.
Illuminate is an interdenominational experience. The day begins with a morning worship session, the afternoons are spent off campus in local service projects, and each day ends with an evening worship session. A free day is built into the week for your group to enjoy the exciting variety of activities that Chattanooga has to offer.
Spend a week with your youth group learning, growing, and serving. During this week of worship and service in our camp environment, your group will be guaranteed to unite as well as make an impact on the community.
Cost includes dorm-style housing and most meals. A portion of the registration cost goes towards materials for the service project.
Our college-age staff will work as assistants with each group. We welcome grades 6-12, but request group registrations only.
Illuminate is a nonprofit organization. The vision for Illuminate developed throughout the mission trips and conferences Marie and Bryant experienced. They wanted to share their life-changing experiences with others and founded Illuminate. Marie and Bryant want to provide students with the opportunity to come together and be challenged in an environment of worship and fellowship while serving others in the local community.
Students are poured into and challenged in the morning and evening sessions. The students are then provided an outlet to serve the community in the afternoons. Each student has the opportunity to act out the messages they hear during the week. As a result, both the students and the community will have their lives changed through the love of Jesus.
Bryant and Marie are thankful and honored to be a part of what God is doing.
Bryant is the Founder of Loud and Clear Ministries. He has traveled as tour pastor for Aaron Gillespie, Nevertheless and Among Thirsty – sharing the good news of Jesus Christ – and he has seen many come to know God. Bryant was greatly impacted while attending a youth camp and spent several years pouring into students at youth camps in the United States, Caribbean and Central America. He is excited about what God is going to do through Illuminate.
Marie has had the opportunity for many years to serve with youth groups on mission trips. She is very thankful that God has given her many opportunities to see need in places all over the United States and overseas. Having been a student in a youth group, her life was changed by mission trips. Marie is looking forward to being part of helping students see how Jesus changes lives through missions.
