Know My Neighbor

Summer 2026

Serving as our theme this summer at CtK, “Know My Neighbor” empowers us to learn names, spark new relationships, and deepen connections as we love God and God’s people. June will focus on Knowing my Neighbor at CtK, July will encourage Knowing My Neighbor Next Door, and August and September will equip us to Know My Neighbor Out Loud.

Summer at CtK is a great time to participate in experiences we may not get during the school year. Camps, retreats, service trips and VBS are just some of the special opportunities we offer. You can find more info about many of these on this page.

Boundary Waters Canoe Trip

Deepen your faith amidst the incredible beauty of the Boundary Waters of Northern MN.  Experience the haunting cry of loons, the scent of pine and the quiet wonder of a dancing campfire after a rewarding day on the water.  These are more than trips; it’s a lifelong memory of spiritual and physical renewal with your own congregation’s care and support for one another amidst  the wonder of God’s creation.
