#11 - Go the Distance

In this episode of The Sunday Rewind, Pastors Brandon and Joel sit down with Pastor Russell to unpack the heart behind Adventure Camp, Hopewell’s unique spin on Vacation Bible School. More than just sports, this week-long summer outreach brings kids together for soccer, robotics, dance, cheerleading—and most importantly, the Gospel.

With over 330 kids and 100+ volunteers, Adventure Camp is a full-church effort aimed at reaching the next generation, including many children who don't attend Hopewell regularly. The focus? Fun, faith, and forming lasting connections—all centered on the life-transforming message of Jesus, taught through the life of Paul.

You’ll hear stories of volunteers taking vacation time to serve, teens becoming heroes to younger campers, and a special missions connection with kids in Honduras learning the exact same lessons at the same time. It's local ministry with a global impact.

As camp builds toward Gospel Thursday, the pastors reflect on the spiritual battle, the power of childlike faith, and why kids aren't the church of tomorrow—they're the church of today.

Join us behind the scenes of a week that changes lives.
