The Rally of a Region (ROAR)

The Rally of a Region (ROAR) is a weekend Winter Camp for the young people across our region.

The heart of ROAR is to create a space for us to build connections, make friends, and be encouraged to do brave things for Jesus.

Hosted by HopeBathurst, and organised by Strong Nation Church, ROAR will be full of opportunities to have fun, make memories, explore new depths in your relationship with God and get a vision for how he could use you to change your world. This is a weekend that you don’t want to miss!

This year our theme for ROAR is “IT’S TIME”. It is time to put your hand up, lay your life down, and do something brave for Jesus!
