Public WILD GOD Gatherings & Exeriences
WILD GOD Events are public, scheduled experiences designed to help people encounter Jesus and grow deeper in relationship with Him through time in God’s Creation.
These gatherings are open to individuals, families, and groups who want to step away from distraction, slow down, and engage faith in a tangible, meaningful way.
Through teaching, hands-on experience, worship, and community, WILD GOD Events create space for reflection, surrender, and spiritual renewal. If you’re looking to attend a WILD GOD experience yourself, you’re in the right place.
WHAT MAKES WILD GOD EVENTS DIFFERENT
WILD GOD Events are not conferences in the woods or outdoor activities with a devotional added. They are intentionally designed environments where:
Scripture is central
Creation becomes a classroom
Faith is practiced, not just discussed
Community is formed naturally through shared experience
TYPES OF PUBLIC EVENTS
WILD GOD currently offers two primary types of public events.
WILD GOD FLAGSHIP EVENTS
Flagship Events are the spiritual heartbeat of the ministry. These gatherings are designed as high-impact encounter spaces that bring together Biblical teaching, worship, community, and Creation. They are where many people first experience the vision of WILD GOD and where others return for renewal, clarity, and deeper surrender.
Flagship Events typically include:
Scripture-centered teaching
Worship and prayer
Hands-on experiences
Time for reflection and community
Clear invitations to deeper faith and obedience
These events are intentionally unhurried, relational, and spiritually focused.
WILD GOD SURVIVAL COURSES
WILD GOD Survival Courses are scheduled, skills-focused experiences open to the public. These courses teach practical wilderness skills—such as shelter, water, fire, food, and tools—while connecting each skill to biblical truth and God’s provision in Creation. They are designed for all skill levels and prioritize a comfortable, well-supported learning environment rather than extreme survival challenges.
Public Survival Courses typically include:
Hands-on skill instruction
Scripture-infused teaching
Devotion and reflection
Praise and worship around the fire
Community through shared experience
Courses are hosted at Creek Stewart’s training location in Bedford, Indiana.
WHO EVENTS ARE FOR
WILD GOD Events are designed for people from all walks of life and denominations who are open to Scripture, spiritual growth, and authentic faith.
No outdoor experience is required.
No survival background is necessary.
Only a willingness to step into an environment where God can speak.
