The current Sea Hawks program started August 31, 2009 and will finish mid July 2010. We are thrilled with our Sea Hawks youth program. The team is currently in Haiti working with many churches and groups with distribution of relief supplies throughout the effected areas. The Sea Hawks continue to work hard and reach out to those in need.
What is the Sea Hawks program?
The objective of Sea Hawks is to instill into the participant some of the foundational attitudes and Godly characteristics that will prepare them not just to be able to live Godly lives but also to be able to be effective in whatever ministry that God has called them to.
This is accomplished by having the participant face various structured challenges in the areas of their Spiritual, emotional, mental and physical lives.
Who can join the Sea Hawks?
The Sea Hawks program is designed for both males and females between the ages of 18 – 24 who are seeking what God has for their lives and wish to grow further in their walk with Christ.

How does it
work?
The Sea Hawks program works by providing a safe and structured environment for young people to find out what God has for them. Character is developed by having to face daily challenges that will stretch a young person. Those in the program are divided into teams that live together, work together and are deployed on missions together. Each day has a set routine that can be carried out regardless of what task or location the team is assigned.
What do I need to bring?
Bring a willing and open heart. You will also be given a packing list upon being approved for the program.
