This Worship Wednesday, Pastors Zack and Noah take you behind the scenes of last week's powerful SCO Camp Meeting at Hocking Hills Retreat Center. From unforgettable worship moments to the Spirit moving in unexpected ways, we’re unpacking it all.

Plus, we talk about how worship looked a little different this past Sunday at Gahanna and Johnstown campuses—with much of our gear still down at the retreat center, we embraced a more stripped-down, raw worship experience. And guess what? God still showed up.
