CF Summer 2025

June 1 - July 26

Join us in Des Moines for CF Summer! This is a discipleship program designed to establish, equip, and envision college students for lifelong obedience to the Great Commission. We are passionate about the glory of God, and therefore passionate about the growth and development of the saints. We focus particularly on giving vision for evangelism, discipleship, and global missions. CF Summer is designed to leverage the summer season for the Kingdom of God through creating rhythms and disciplines of authentic community, one on one discipleship, theological training, and practical ministry training.

We hope you can join us for an incredible summer together!

Ensnaring Sin

2025 Theme

Hebrews 12:1-2

Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every hindrance and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
