United Presbyterian Church of Peoria, IL

We have several fun events for youth every year and several fundraising events to help offset costs for our summer trips. Every year we host a Big Barn Bash at our Administrative Assistant’s farm, play paintball, and do other exciting things like Video Scavenger Hunts and Amazing Races. We have three major fundraisers every years as well, one in the fall, one in the winter, and one in the spring.

BIG BARN BASH

Each year we gather at Trish Depperman’s Farm for the Big Barn Bash. We play outrageous games, roast hotdogs and S’mores, and have a hay rack ride. You can watch a video of last year’s event below. This year's Big Barn Bash was on October 16th from 3:30-7:00 P.M.

FUNDRAISERS

Quest sponsors three major fundraisers during the year and one summer fundraiser. These fundraisers help support the cost of the youth program throughout the year and helps offset the cost of the summer trip for the youth. The fundraisers are a lot of fun for everyone who attends.

AUGUST QUEST KICK-OFF

Each August we have a Quest Kick-Off event to get the year off to a fun and exciting start. Last year we began the year with a video scavenger hunt. Teams competed to get video of different things each having different point values. You can see a video clip of last year’s scavenger hunt below.
This year we’re kicking off the year with an Amazing Race.

PAINTBALL

Each spring we take the youth to play paintball at one of the local paintball fields. Last year we invited other local area churches to join us and had a great time playing on several different courses at the Chilli Paintball Pits for four hours. This spring we’re playing on Saturday, April 30th.
