We rely on the integrity of our churches and church leaders to only send students who meet the Super Summer student profile. Leaders should know which students are truly committed and are faithful throughout the year; not only to attendance and participation, but are committed to growing in Christ and living the life of a disciple on mission in the world. You should know who these students are by the time you register for Super Summer on March 2nd.
