The poor children of Appalachia are victims of an on-going crisis of generational poverty. Many live in conditions that parallel that of third world countries. The Shelter Rock Youth Festivals are teaching these children that they can do extraordinary things through the power of God’s Word.

The Shelter Rock Festivals are fun and exciting services that bring children closer to God! They learn about a loving Creator Who will meet their needs according to His riches in glory!

The children learn to Live the Word through faith and action — stay connected and remain strong. They discover the joy of the Lord as these Festivals are fast-paced, exciting, and full of the Word.

Adventure is the key for children at the Shelter Rock Youth Festivals! They learn to add the "super" of God to their natural as they grow. They are given a strong foundation that will take them through the rest of their lives.

Six to eight tons of gifts and life provision for the entire family are given at the Youth Festivals as the children learn to apply faith in God to their changing lives, and discover an even deeper understanding of who they are in Christ.

At the Youth Festivals, Steven and Catherine Reese teach the uncompromised Word of God. Puppets and ministering actors demonstrate how to Live the Word. Children correspond with their encouraging sponsors and lives are changed.

Using cutting-edge music, a high-energy atmosphere and Bible teaching that means something to a young person...that's what you find at the Shelter Rock Youth Festivals.

It's about family, relationship, accountability and most of all, acceptance by a God Who loves.
