Ground Zero

Ground Zero Today’s teenagers are bombarded with negative messages and complex situations to navigate.

Ground Zero is the point of impact where life-changing experiences and authentic relationships spark transformation — where teenagers discover Christ, their true identity, and the courage to live a life of purpose and direction. From pressure to get into a good college to relationships, identity and belonging, the decisions a teenager makes during these formative years will determine who he or she

becomes as an adult. Sadly, during the vulnerable time of life, many teens are rejecting faith or walking away from their faith. Teenagers need a safe place to navigate life, build healthy relationships and meet positive, caring mentors who will offer them wisdom and encouragement while treating them as the adults they are becoming. They need a sense of purpose and encouragement to become who they’re meant to be. And most importantly, they need a relationship with Jesus Christ, the source of all identity, direction and hope. OUR PURPOSE

To make a positive impact in the lives of today’s teenagers, cultivating their faith and transforming their futures. We use a proven integrated strategy that results in eternal impact.

• Reach: Through high-energy events and unforgettable experiences, we capture the attention of teenagers and introduce them to Christ.

• Equip: We nurture and cultivate the faith of the teenagers we reach, deepening our relationship with them and their relationship with Christ.

• Send: Finally, we train teenagers to be leaders, creating opportunities for them to serve and sending them out to make a difference.

As we reflect on another incredible Dragon Boat Festival, we simply want to say THANK YOU.

Because of your support—as a participant, sponsor, volunteer, vendor, donor, spectator or prayer partner—this year's festival was a tremendous success. The energy, excitement and community spirit on display throughout the day reminded us why this event continues to be such a special tradition.

One of the highlights this year was seeing so many people come together to support the mission of Ground Zero while enjoying a day of racing, family fun and community connection. We were especially excited to have a Ground Zero team back on the water, made up of staff, volunteers and students who proudly represented our ministry.

To help relive the memories, we've included our 2026 Dragon Boat Festival highlight video below. We hope you enjoy looking back on a day filled with friendly competition, laughter and lives impacted through your support.

And while we're celebrating this year's success, we're already looking ahead to next year. Be sure to save the date for the 19th Annual Dragon Boat Festival on April 24, 2027. We can't wait to gather again for another day of racing, community and support for the students we serve.

Thank you for being part of this year's festival and for helping make a difference in the lives of students across our community. We couldn't do it without you.

With gratitude,

The Ground Zero Team

The school year may be over, but the impact these iLeaders have made will last far beyond it. From leading well to growing together and individually to showing the love of Jesus to every student who walks through our doors, they have made a lasting impact. We are incredibly proud of each of you (including the few not pictured!) and can’t wait to see how God continues to use you. 🧡💙
