WCC | Guest Speaker: Austin Ettleman, Feb. 22nd 2026

This week we were joined by guest speaker Austin Ettleman, who came to share about the ministry of Nebowa Christian Camp and to preach on this summer’s camp theme, Ascend, from Psalm 24.Drawing from David’s powerful question, “Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?”, Austin challenged us to consider what it truly means to approach God. Psalm 24 reminds us that the earth belongs to the Lord, that He is holy, and that those who seek Him must come with clean hands and pure hearts. Ascending isn’t about earning our way up—it’s about humbly pursuing the presence of God with integrity and surrender.Austin also shared how Nebowa Christian Camp creates space for students and families to step away from distractions, seek the Lord intentionally, and grow in their faith. As we look toward the summer, this message calls us upward—to live lives that reflect God’s holiness and to actively seek Him above all else.If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to draw near to God and live with eternity in view, this message will encourage and challenge you to ascend.
