Our theme this year is “True North – Trusting Jesus in a Wild World.” Kids will explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today and learn that Jesus is our true north. This will be a week full of faith discoveries, memorable music, and epic Alaskan adventures that help kids grow in friendship with Jesus!
WHEN: Monday – Thursday, July 21 – 24
TIME: 9 am – noon (plus a closing program on Thursday evening at 5:30 pm )
Join us for our 2025 spring revival with Dr. Bill and Diane Ury, May 18-21. This is our annual event where we set time apart as the body of Christ to allow the Holy Spirit to refresh, renew, and revive. Bring your family and friends for this exciting time of seeking God together as the body of Christ!
About Our Speakers
Bill and Diane Ury have been married since 1984, and have enjoyed a life of ministry together.
Bill is a 1978 graduate of Asbury University. He studied at the Institute for Holy Land Studies in Jerusalem and has an MDiv from Asbury Theological Seminary. He holds an MPhil and PhD in Systematic and Historical Theology from Drew University. Bill taught Historical and Systematic Theology at Wesley Biblical Seminary for 23 years. His podcast is The Hour of Holiness. Bill has authored several articles and books, including Trinitarian Personhood: Investigating the Implications of a Relational Definition, The Bearer, and Christology as Theology.
Diane is a 1983 graduate of Asbury University with a BA in Sociology, and holds an MA in Theology from Wesley Biblical Seminary. She has written several articles, and is the editor of Holy Love: Essays in Honor of Dr. M. William Ury. Together, Diane and Bill authored Conversations About Holiness. Diane loves theology, is a teacher, preacher, mentor, and a women’s lives advocate.
Both Bill and Diane are ordained elders in the Evangelical Methodist Church, have pastored together, and have spent decades discipling men and women. They are fully committed to the historic bases and contemporary expressions of consensual orthodox Christianity and the Wesleyan Holiness tradition. Their personal desire is to incorporate sound, rigorous Christian theological thinking with pastoral care, spiritual formation, and true compassion.
After over two decades of serving The Salvation Army, in 2017 they joined National Headquarters and accepted the role of National Ambassadors for Holiness. They reside in North Carolina and are soldiers with the Raleigh International Corps. The Urys have four married children, JoAnna, Maddi, Meredith, and Seth. Their ten grandchildren are their constant joy.

The scriptures present the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead as a real, unique, and historical event. Nothing in all of human history has impacted and transformed so many billions of lives, yet the original eyewitness accounts reveal just how truly unexpected and unbelievable it was.
“Jesus Appearing” is an Eastertide sermon series that examines the resurrection appearances of Jesus to his disciples in the Gospel of John. Together we will see the resurrection as the start of something altogether new in the world, what it means to live life in light of it, and how Jesus alone supplies our every need.
