Spirit West Coast Ministry Overview
An attempt is made to minister to ALL AGES and stages in life at SWC - youth, singles, families, couples, and children - there's a message for everyone!
CHILDREN are spiritually impacted on their own level by adult ministers and volunteers who have dedicated their performance gifts and talents to reaching children. Through a variety of "shows," including puppetry, singing, illusion, juggling and more, children will learn more about God's love.
EVANGELISM happens - altar calls - decision times - challenges - whatever you call them, people are given a direct opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Since 1997 at eleven festivals now, nearly 4,000 people have reported "trusting" their lives to Christ by making salvation commitments at Spirit West Coast.
But the ministry and spiritual impact of Spirit West Coast is not just about spiritual head-counts. When thousands of people find themselves in a spiritually challenging environment, God does great things in their lives on many individual levels.
Other aspects of the festival ministry include prayer tents, evangelism training, new believer's classes, a water baptism opportunity, morning devotions, and many opportunities to worship -- all designed to allow people to go away from three days at either Del Mar or Laguna Seca, much closer and more in love with Jesus Christ than when they arrived. "As simple as it sounds, when God impacts a life, it takes a time and a place," notes Event Director Jon Robberson. Spirit West Coast is just such a time and place!
As someone from Northern California publicly testified at his church, "... I came away from Spirit West Coast a changed man!"
