Youth

 (rising seventh through twelfth graders)

The SOULfeast Youth Team creates space for youth to meet each other, meet God, and discover a personal rhythm of spiritual practice. Join us as we connect with new friends, discover sacred space, and enjoy good times together.

Children

 (rising first through sixth graders)

Children will find a nurturing and playful environment at SOULfeast filled with opportunity for creative expression. The SOULfeast children’s team will guide children in spiritual practices that create a deeper awareness of God’s presence. The team will engage children in the many opportunities for indoor and outdoor fun at Lake Junaluska. Children are invited to participate with their family and friends in evening worship.
