WHAT IS THE WAVE CHALLENGE?

Here at The Wave, we know our teens are talented and have so many God-given gifts. You are smart, capable and caring and there’s no reason that we should wait for you to leave The Wave so that you can start to use your gifts for God’s glory. We want to build you up and send you out to be the next generation of church leaders. So we are going to challenge you to “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16) starting NOW!

 

Here’s how it works . . .

 

You check out the list of challenges below and choose whichever ones you are interested in trying. If you need help choosing, any one of The Wave volunteers would be happy to help you out. Each completed challenge is awarded points based on the level of difficulty and complexity. Additional points may be awarded for completed challenges which exceed expectations. In August, our top 10 earners will select from a variety of experience-based prizes. These are no joke! Trust me, you will NOT want to miss out on this fun! Each month a new prize will be revealed so stay tuned. Teamwork is encouraged.
