A team of ‘seasoned’ evangelist (7) will come to Barrie for those 4 days. During the day, they will partner with local believers with a heart to evangelise and share the Gospel.

Prior to ‘hitting the streets’, they will be trained and equipped to adopt biblical ways and instil confidence.

Evening meetings will begin at 7pm, doors open at 6:30pm.

Meetings will include: live Worship, Altar Calls, Salvation, Holy Spirit and Water Baptism.

New believers will have an opportunity to register for post-event ministry and true discipleship… preparing and equipping them to fulfill the call that is on their lives.

We will have a booth at this festival to give away free gifts with the gospel message.

**We’re looking for volunteers to help share the good news with visitors. No experience necessary. We provide training in advance.**

We’re excited to invite you to the fourth annual ReBoot Young Adult Retreat at Camp OCA this August! Tailored for young adults in their 20s and 30s (ages 18–40ish), this weekend centres on the theme “Chatting with GPT – God’s Perfect Truth.”

Artificial intelligence has instant access to nearly all human knowledge. It is a powerful tool that can help us learn, create, and serve more effectively. Yet it is also a mindless intelligence with no agency of its own. It is trained by biased humans, often carries an anti-Christian agenda, and is designed to tickle our ears—telling us what we want to hear rather than what is true. In a culture that increasingly looks to AI for answers, we must learn to filter every response through the unchanging lens of Scripture.

At ReBoot 2026 we will explore both the incredible opportunities and the real spiritual dangers of AI, equipping you to engage this technology wisely while remaining firmly anchored in God’s perfect truth.

Imagine stepping back onto those familiar 50 acres of beautiful Ontario wilderness, but this time with no cleanup duties or chores—just pure relaxation, fun, and fellowship. Here’s what makes ReBoot so special:

– Nostalgic Fun Without the Work: Dive into games and epic night games just like when we were kids, with the freedom to unwind and enjoy every moment. All meals are provided from Friday supper to Sunday lunch.
– Relevant & Biblical Teaching: Powerful sessions that help you think critically about AI through a biblical lens—celebrating its usefulness while guarding against deception, people-pleasing algorithms, and the loss of spiritual discernment.
– Community and Connection: Reconnect with friends from previous ReBoot years and form new lifelong bonds with fellow believers. A safe space to share stories, pray together, and grow in discipleship.
-Tons of Fun with Lasting Impact: A perfect blend of adventure, laughter, and spiritual depth as we celebrate Christ as Lord and Saviour while facing the unique challenges of young adulthood in a digital age.
