Workshops
Worship Arts
In this worship camp, students will be invited to learn techniques of team building as well as rehearsal techniques for contemporary worship bands. In addition, we will dive deep into the theology of worship and the vital role it plays in our every-day lives and in our relationship with the Father and Creator of the Universe.
Learn MoreHearing God's Voice, Discovering Your Calling
Earnest young Christians, the type of students that have always wound up at Houghton, struggle with the language of hearing God. During this week, we'll help students think through how to listen for the voice of God and sort it out from all the other voices that surround them. We'll pay special attention to the sense of God's calling in their lives as they think through college and the beginings of adult life as a Christian.
