our speakers, and registration!
PTC is a unique camp designed to help young men develop their leadership skills and help them declare the Word of God. We will be digging into the Word, learning to prepare a short sermon, and of course, having some fun along the way. We are looking for young men who are up for being uncomfortable and want to learn more about God and leadership in the church.
