THE MYSTERIOUS TRUTH


Today, it’s harder than ever for students to know what’s true. With so many voices, opinions, and distractions, truth can start to feel like a mystery waiting to be solved. That’s why this year’s theme invites students to become truth detectives through the world of a hilarious and thrilling mystery play full of twists, turns, and suspects - where only the best detectives can reveal the truth.

This year’s tour is a completely revamped version of one of our most-loved SuperStart themes from 10 years ago—now reimagined for a whole new generation of preteens.

Throughout the weekend, your preteens will investigate Jesus’ words in John 8:31–32 and John 14:6, discovering that the truth isn’t just something to find—it’s someone to know. Like a good detective on the case, they’ll learn to look and listen to God for truth, to collect and connect those truths, and finally, to show and tell those truths with others.

Don’t miss out on this chance to help your students discover The Mysterious Truth—a weekend of fun, faith, and a few shocking plot twists they’ll never forget!

SuperStart is for 4th + 5th Grade Students.
