Encounter Kids Camp
Kids Camp exists to support local churches in their effort to reach lost students in their community and to raise up a generation of students who have an authentic walk with God and who actively share their faith. Throughout their camp experience, there is a high priority on Scripture, relevant worship, relationships within the local church, and providing opportunities for students and sponsors to sharpen their skills and prepare to consistently serve God after camp.

Brandon Justice
Brandon Justice is a 28-year-old Children’s Pastor in Wellington, Kansas. He moved to Kansas in 2018 after meeting his wife, Liz, at Welch College in Nashville, TN. They now have three sons—Greyson (5), Judah (3), and Lucas (1)—who make their family complete and full of energy.
In addition to his pastoral role, Brandon works full-time in social services, supporting adults with disabilities. However, his true passion and God-given calling is to minister to the kids and families at Wellington Free Will Baptist Church. He considers it a privilege to serve them each week. Brandon’s life motto is Soli Deo Gloria, a Latin phrase meaning “To God Alone be Glory.” This goal shapes everything he does, whether he is working, spending time with his kids, or cheering for the Atlanta Braves. His favorite verse, 1 Corinthians 10:31, expresses this mission well: “Whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.”
