this is a boys ministry that is being run by local men who have a passion for the outdoors, and a desire to see boys become Godly men.
KOZ Worship Center is Becoming BOAC Worship Center! New name - same mission!
What are we about?
The Boys Outdoor Adventure Club Ministry is about doing hard things. We are teaching boys about how to be leaders, have integrity and see all situations that arise in their lives through to the end, regardless of how hard they are. Beyond that, we are teaching boys essential outdoor skills and giving them a better understanding of things that exist in the real world, outside of their video games and online lives. We are building a brotherhood, empowering boys to have compassion and love for one another and showing them how to support one another through all of life’s trials. Finally, we are raising these boys to be Godly men, showing them what a Godly man is and giving them the opportunities and tools to know how to lead families in the ways God intended. Boys will learn how to spend time with God alone, and how to look at situations and their world from God's eyes and how they can shape the world around them.
When Do we meet?
Typically we will meet the 3rd Saturday in the month. Our 2025 start date has yet to be determined!
Where Do we meet?
The boys will meet at the BOAC HQ, which is at 2 Luoma Street in Kingston (See Map). Here the boys will start the day by raising the American and KOZ flag and doing the pledge of allegiance. We will gear them up for the day's adventure and hop on the bus to go out for the day's mission.
Once the day's mission is over, we will return to the BOAC HQ where the boys will start a fire themselves and cook lunch. We will receive God's word and spend our time alone with God before closing out the day by lowering our flags and discussing the next meeting's events.
