National Fine Arts Festival - Orlando, Florida

Convention: August 4-8, 2025

Travel Dates: August 2-10, 2025

We will be serving our Assemblies of God youth this summer at the National Fine Arts Festival in Orlando, Florida. Together we will road trip from Denton, TX to the convention center in Columbus where we will serve as the event’s volunteers. This is a project that we have partnered with for the past 15 years. Not only has it been a special experience for those who participate on the adventure, but it also creates a great opportunity for youth in our movement to be exposed to the mission of Chi Alpha on their future campus. We hope you will consider joining us on this fun excursion.
