Winter Camp Theme - Agapolis
Winter Camp Theme Agapolis

About the Winter Camp Theme

Spiritual Direction

This winter, we will walk through 1 John 4:7-12 to discover the truth about love. In a world that has distorted what love truly means, we look to Scripture for the foundational definition of love. 

Creative Direction

For this winter camp season, our creative theme title is called Agapolis. Through an Ancient Greek animation, we will communicate the story of Biblical love; God is the author of love who demonstrated His love for us through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
This perfect, sacrificial, and unconditional love is called Agape love. In our animated story, the God of love, Agape, creates Agapolis as a place for His love to flourish. Unfortunately, His love is rejected and forgotten until one character questions the way the citizens of Agapolis have selfishly distorted the love of Agape. 

Theme Overview

As we enter into the winter season, we tend to be more attuned to spreading good tidings of great joy, peace, hope, and love. While we might say and hear these words more often during this time of year, do we understand the truth behind them?

This winter camp season, we are eager to walk students through 1 John 4:7-12 in order to discover the truth about love. In a world that has distorted what love truly means, we look to Scripture for the foundational definition of love. While the world has reduced the definition of love to mediocre acceptance, casual preference, and even based on conditions, the love of God is infinite, unfathomable, and unconditional. The reality is that God Himself is love.

When we believe and receive the truth of God’s love for us through Jesus, we are compelled to love God and respond in obedience to His Word. By abiding in God’s love for us, we learn how to love others with grace and truth. Our hope this winter is that students learn the truth about the joy, peace, hope, and love that can only come through the saving grace of God through Jesus Christ. 

Theme Verse

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.”

1 John 4:7-12
