Summer Ignite 2025 Promises Epic Week of Faith, Fun & Surprises for Ashland County Teens
SAVANNAH, OH – Get ready, Ashland County—Summer Ignite 2025 is coming, and it’s about to set your summer on fire! From August 3–7, students in grades 6–12 are invited to experience an electrifying, action-packed week that blends outrageous fun with deep spiritual impact at Bethel Chapel, 575 US-250 in Savannah.
Hosted by a powerhouse team of local churches—Bethel Chapel Savannah, Grace Church Ashland, Avenue Church, and more—Summer Ignite isn’t your average Vacation Bible School. This is Teen VBS, supercharged.
What to Expect:
Each night from 6:00 to 8:30 PM (check-in at 5:30), teens will dive into:
Delicious food—think pizza, hot dogs, and all the teen favorites.
Live worship music to lift your spirit and shake the roof.
Powerful messages from dynamic youth pastors who are all in for the next generation.
Small group discussions to connect, reflect, and go deeper in faith.
Outdoor games like Gaga Ball, Nine Square in the Air, and even Water Kickball to cool things down—and turn up the fun.
“We’re pulling out all the stops this year,” said Chris Lopez, Pastor of Student Ministries at Bethel Chapel. “It’s more than games and songs. We’re creating a space where teens can encounter God, build friendships, and just have an unforgettable time.”
Thursday’s “Destination Unknown” = Mystery + Mayhem
The highlight of the week? Thursday night’s Destination Unknown, a top-secret road trip where students board buses with newspaper-covered windows—clueless about where they’re headed. “We’re literally driving by faith,” joked Nate Meiers, Associate Pastor of Students and Families at Grace Church Ashland. “It’s the most fun you’ll ever have not knowing where you’re going.”
Cost for the mystery night is $10, but here’s the twist—bring a friend, and they go free while you only pay $5.
Summer Ignite is Open to All Youth in Ashland County
“This isn’t just a Bethel event or a Grace event,” said Senior Pastor John Bouquet of Bethel Chapel. “This is a community-wide youth movement. We love our churches, but more importantly, we love the teenagers of Ashland County. This is for them.”
BONUS: The next 50 students to register will receive an exclusive Summer Ignite 2025 t-shirt—free!
So if you’re in middle or high school and want to end your summer with purpose, passion, and a little bit of controlled chaos—sign up now. This is the summer experience you’ll be talking about until next August.
