Vision of Headwaters Outdoor Education Program Ministry

Headwaters Outdoor Education Program Ministry exists to transform the lives of young men and women by guiding them into a deep, personal relationship with God through mentorship, discipleship, and outdoor adventure. Our vision is to create a space where youth can experience the power of God’s creation, learn essential life skills, and develop the resilience needed to walk boldly in their faith.

We believe that nature provides the perfect setting for encountering God—whether through the stillness of a mountain sunrise, the challenge of a rugged hike, or the patience required to catch a fish. These moments become opportunities for spiritual growth, self-discovery, and the development of a strong foundation in Christ.

Through consistent mentorship, immersive outdoor experiences, and biblical teaching, our goal is to equip young people with the wisdom, strength, and faith to navigate life’s challenges. By fostering deep, Christ-centered relationships, we aim to cultivate a generation of strong, godly leaders who will carry the love of Christ into their families, communities, and the world.

At Headwaters, we don’t just teach about faith—we walk alongside youth as they grow

In faith.
