What Is PaceSetters All About?

Learning to lead means learning to serve, so we put serving at the core of camp. Whether by service projects or seeing a need around you, as we develop a servant’s heart, we experience a richness of life we never dreamed of.

Serving

Leaders empower, encourage, and inspire others to fulfill their God-given potential. During the week, students are challenged to grow as leaders through personal quiet times, group sessions, and community outreach.

Leading

One thing everyone who has attended PaceSetters will agree on; the people you meet the first day of camp feel like family by the last. Surrounding yourself with like-minded believers creates a unique and powerful atmosphere.

Connecting

The principles learned at camp are not meant to stay there! They need to be taken back to homes, schools & churches, so the love of Jesus is known in our communities. We desire for students to be bold believers for Christ.

Looking Forward to PaceSetters 2024: 

See What People Are Saying:

"PaceSetters is where you find a community of people set on fire for Jesus. They not only choose to support you during the week, but choose to do life with you after camp.”

Jaylin Harris, Student 2021-2023

"Through 20 years of student ministry, PaceSetters Leadership Camp is the most effective tool that I have found in consistently developing student leaders. The method of leading through serving is taught through relationships and experiences in a way that takes root into the students' lives and bears fruit for God. I highly recommend this camp!"

Brian Britt, Youth Pastor 2002-Present

"I made friends that I am still close with to this day! PaceSetters taught me that leadership that follows Christ's example is servant leadership, and that is the type of leader we must aspire to be.”

Caleb Gentry, Student 2009-2011

"PaceSetters was quite possibly the best experience of my life. I grew so close to God that week and made friendships that will last a lifetime.”

 Kim Justice, Student 1997

"For me, PaceSetters was a place I was challenged and poured into on an individual level, and it changed my life by changing the way I lead others; by being vulnerable rather than trying to be a model of perfection.”

Jack Inman, Student 2013-2016

"I don’t think words are capable of expressing the impact this week has had on my life. I came expecting another church camp, but in all reality, it was so much more. It showed me things that have changed my perspective on my walk with Christ”

Chad Lawson, Student 2000-2001

"My encounter with God at PaceSetters continued to make the Gospel clear to me, and clarified my calling to serve Christ through ministry. As a student, PaceSetters encouraged me to put action to my faith as a servant leader. I now have the joy of taking Oakwood students to PaceSetters and seeing the same impact for the next generation”

Brandon Best, Student 1997-1998, Youth Pastor 2011-Present

"What sets PaceSetters apart is not just learning to serve, but going into the cities and actually serving. My group helped pick berries at a family farm and they told us what we did in 3 hours would have taken them 3 months. To me, that truly represents Christ-like love”

Sarah Burton, Student 2006-2013

"The one thing everyone told me about PaceSetters before I came is that there is no way I would come back unchanged. They were right."

Tiffany Rider, Student 2005-2007
