Longridge 2.0 : Directed By Mark Shivers
July 7-11 : 2008

God has intentionally formed us with many senses, many ways in which to worship and engage our Creator. Why have neglected all but one or two for so long? Longridge 2.0 is about asking truthful and difficult questions and being ready to not end up with the answers we may like. Longridge 2.0 is about re-imagining what the world can be and seeking to live out these visions of a new reality. Longridge 2.0 is about a community of believers on a journey towards the kingdom.

   Meet our Director
Mark Shivers, graduate of Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, GA,  licensed Baptist minister and current graduate student at Vanderbilt directs our Longridge 2.0 summer camps. Mark has always had a heart for pushing students and leaders alike to engage God in both new and ancient ways. Always seeking to engage the emerging culture, a week with Mark will urge you to ask and explore, seek and be sought, imagine and engage.  

 Summer Staff
Our Super Summer Camps utilize a staff of 18 college students. These students are selected to serve on our staff based upon their devotion to the Lord, exemplary lifestyle, involvement in the local church, biblical convictions and giftedness. It is our goal in their selection that your students will experience the highest quality of leadership and spiritual mentorship.

Staffers are assigned to each cabin and are responsible for the students of that cabin all week. He/she is their spiritual shepherd and overseer and seeks to foster growth both spiritually and emotionally in them through devotions, play, example and sharing.

  Staff Praise Team
The Longridge Worship Team, formed from members of the summer staff, lead worship for Longridge 2.0 It is always amazing to see the talent and ability of these college students to meld together and be incredibly effective worship leaders. It is truly a special attribute of Longridge that the same staff who are with the students all day, lead them in worship during services. At 2.0, we seek to de-centralize the worship team as the focus of attention and move away from the concert model and theology of "worship."
