SUMMER 2025

SUMMER CAMP 2025 - JUNE 23RD-27TH

For students who are entering 6th grade through Freshman year in college, in Fall of 2025.
The goal of Summer Camp is to establish a fun, exciting, and spiritual atmosphere that will inspire students to develop their spiritual relationship with Jesus and strengthen their connection with Him.
We love camp—absolutely love it! We believe God uses summer camp to establish spiritual markers that students will remember as they grow in their commitment to follow Jesus. Our goal is to connect your students through small group Bible study, engaging worship, and activities built around strengthening relationships. We promise to clearly present the good news of Jesus, to shape every aspect of our camps in such a way that God’s Word remains center-stage, and that we will have a blast while doing it.
SPEAKER: Will Moore
WORSHIP: Aaron Williams
COST:
- $425 before June 1st, $100 Deposit

VBS - JULY 13TH-17TH

Parents, are you looking for a week of safe summer fun for your child? Bring them to our FREE Vacation Bible School! VBS starts July 13th at 6:00 pm!
Our amazing God is not only the Creator of all things, but He also cares about His creation, right down to the tiniest detail. And the Bible tells us that people are the most significant part of that creation. God created you and knows every detail about you—right down to the design of your fingerprints and the number of hairs on your head. God cares about everything that happens to you.
Magnified!™ VBS will encourage kids to look closely at the details of God’s amazing world and magnify, or proclaim, the greatness of God. God made us, cares about us, loves us, forgives us, and is faithful to keep all His promises to us. We can praise God together!
VBS is for kids entering Kindergarten through 8th grade in the fall.
SIGN UP TODAY!

WHAT WE'RE TEACHING: MDWK

WHAT IF...: A 4-Week series from the New Testament on Righting Wrongs

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Some of the most incredible pieces of art were created when the artist wondered, "What if I ... ?" Their curiosity inspired them to look at what was in front of them to imagine something entirely different. As we grow closer to God, we realize that God asks us to do something similar—to look through the hurt, pain, and evil in the world and wonder what it might look like for things to be different. In this 4-week series from the New Testament and Prophets, we'll wonder about what it might look like to be a part of making a difference as we explore questions like what if God wants you to meet someone’s needs, rest, help others heal, or make wrong things right?

TIP OF THE MONTH

Think about this question for just a moment – what are your kids' friends like? What do they like to talk about? When they are all together, what do they do for fun? What do they believe about God? It’s not uncommon for most kids' and teenagers’ friends to have a lot of similarities because we all tend to spend time with people who act, think, and care about things the way we do. But what if our desire for comfort can lead to us missing out on meaningful relationships, life altering conversations, and a deeper understanding of the world? How can we, as parents, model inclusivity in our relationships and help teenagers get out of their own bubble?

Step Out Of Your Bubble And Into Your Community

RESOURCE OF THE MONTH

LEADER OF THE MONTH:
GARRETT SCOTT

WORSHIP LEADER

217.820.3566 / [email protected]

Garrett is a friendly new face around Hallmark Students! Originally from Illinois, he went on to study Worship Ministry at Cedarville University after high school. After graduating, he served as a worship leader back in Illinois—where he also met his wife, Madi. They got married in 2021 and made the move to Fort Worth in 2022.

Now, Garrett serves as the Worship Production and Young Adults Director here at Hallmark Church. He brings a genuine passion for God and worship, and we’re so grateful for the way he leads, recruits, and pours into our students—especially those helping lead worship on Wednesday nights.

We’re thankful to have Garrett on the team and excited for all that’s ahead. Thanks for all you do, Garrett!
