Do I have to sing or join in?

Not at all. Sit on the grass, get some food, and take in as much or as little as you like. Plenty of people just listen — nobody is watching what you do.

Is it really free? What's the catch?

It's genuinely free. No ticket, no entry fee, and no offering plate coming around. The food is free too — we've served thousands of hot dogs and never charged for one.

Will someone put me on the spot?

No. Nobody will single you out or pull you aside. If you'd like to talk with someone, there are people who'd love to. If you'd rather just enjoy the day, that's completely fine.

What if I don't believe what you believe?

You're welcome exactly as you are, and nobody is checking. You will hear people speak openly about Jesus — that's the heart of the weekend — and you're free to make of it whatever you make of it.

Please do. There's a kids zone, games, music, and plenty of room to run around. Saturday is built for families, and it's the kind of day kids remember.

A lawn chair or a blanket, sunscreen, water, and comfortable shoes. It's an outdoor park and the festival runs rain or shine, so dress for the weather.

Can I show up late or leave early?

Come and go however you like. It's an open park, not a service — there's no door to walk through and no awkward entrance.

God Is Not Only Interested in Your Sundays

Name: Jesus Festival 2026
Start: 2026-09-04T18:30:00-04:00
End: 2026-09-05T18:00:00-04:00
Location: Gage Park

Two days at Gage Park will be wonderful, but you have 363 other days this year. Paul told people with unglamorous jobs that whatever they did, they did it for the Lord.

Your work is not a holding pattern

Scripture does not rank missionaries above people with regular jobs. The same God who calls someone to plant churches calls someone to run an honest business, pay staff properly, and be the person a struggling coworker can talk to.

Excellence is a witness

Be genuinely excellent at the work, scrupulously honest about money, and kind when there is no advantage in it. Do good work and doors open; walk through them as a Christian.
