iRock Ministries

intentionally Reaching Our Community Kids

Hear from the students

I have had the most amazing group of student team members, over summers past, each bringing special gifts and talents enabling us to Intentionally Reach Our Community Kids with the message of Jesus’s love and forgiveness. It’s because of these team members that we continue to offer opportunities to students entering or currently attending college to be part of God’s plan with iRock Ministries. If you’d like to hear more about their experiences choose any of their pictures and hear what they personally had to say.

iRock and Ability Tree

iRock Ministries with the help of the summer students will be serving to help make Ability Camp the best possible week long experience for adults 18 and up with physical and/or intellectual disabilities.

Ability Camp serves a two-fold purpose: 1) to give individuals with disabilities freedom to enjoy a week of activities, social interaction, and the opportunity to connect with God and 2) to provide support to parents or caregivers through a temporary rest or respite.

  • Ability Camp is a 5-day, 4-night retreat that revolves around the main theme for the week and includes various recreational activities,  time to socialize and relax, and morning and evening Christian worship services.
  • Each camper is assigned a Counselor and a co-Counselor who is with them throughout the week.
  • Activities include swimming, volleyball, archery, rock climbing wall, tug of war, arts & crafts, soccer, talent show, and more!…
  • iRock Ministries students serve as the recreation and special activity branch of the staff. They plan and implement team building exercises, structured physical activities, evening programs and social gatherings.

Financial Note: To be part of the camp, summer students are required to raise the necessary funds to be part of Ability Camp. If you would like to become a financial partner to help cover the cost of camp, make your donation using our Donate page and indicate in the Comment area “Student team” or contact us for other donation options. We will make sure the funds get distributed to the students serving on staff.

COST: $400 covers the cost for one summer student

Top Prayer Needs

More Students

As God opens the door to team members within iRock ministries we are constantly aware of college students that He has planned for us.

As students are constantly bombarded with the distractions of life it becomes even more important that they take the time necessary to solidify their relationship with Jesus before entering a crazy world. The summer will allow opportunity to spend quality time with Jesus, develop relationships with other students and engage them in serving the Lord so that they can discover the joy of walking out their faith.

Over the summer we will be involved in 4 kids camps and possibly one out of state mission trip. In between camps we will be developing, designing, creating and praying for each planned camp or trip to share the love and forgiveness of Jesus with others so that together we can be part of kingdom growth.

Pray with us that God will bring the right interns and that they will recognize the need to focus on Jesus before too many distractions draw them away from their Savior.

  • As our ministry grows so must our financial base. As our team members expand year round it is our desire that students would not be financially burdened when making a decision as to whether or not to join our team for a length of time. God is so much bigger than finances and knows our need before even asking. We ask that you share our need with others, knowing that God has specific people ready to give as He leads. click here to donate to iRock Ministries

Greatest Summer Ever!

This summer, as a student team member, I learned a lot of important and vital things that prepared me for my calling more than anything I have done before. Through the summer I made many friends and met many new people it was an opportunity for God to use me and my gifts and He did in an awesome way. 

Let me share my summer experience with you through this video I created. Enjoy!
