BEHOLD HIM

For teens ages 13-18

Registration for the 2026 SFM Summer Youth Intensive  is NOW OPEN!

BEHOLD HIM

A Youth Intensive on Pilgrimage, Fascination, and the Coming King

“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:18

THE HEART BEHIND BEHOLD HIM
Behold Him is more than a camp theme.
It is a call to pilgrimage.
Over five days, our desire is to lead students into a deeper vision of Jesus—not merely as Savior, but as the altogether worthy Son of God who deserves fascination, devotion, surrender, and love.
We believe this generation was made for more than shallow Christianity, emotional moments, or cultural religion. They were made to behold Jesus.
The aim of this intensive is not behavior modification. It is not emotional hype. It is not simply telling students what not to do. Our prayer is that students would encounter Someone so beautiful that lesser things begin to lose their grip naturally.
This week is about awakening a generation to: the beauty of Jesus, the worth of knowing Him, the joy of surrender, the call to discipleship, and the hope of His coming Kingdom.

THE CULTURE WE WANT TO BUILD
We want to build a culture of:
reverence over hype,
devotion over entertainment,
presence over performance,
surrender over comfort,
and fascination over distraction.

We are not gathering students simply for emotional moments. We are calling them into discipleship, into pilgrimage, and into a life organized around one thing: beholding Jesus.

Because when students truly see Him,
everything else changes.
