The Adult program will have a very different seminar experience hosted by a myriad of incredible speakers and Open Forum group discussions led by our leadership team.

Over 20 years ago, Skip and Susan founded the non-profit named “O.F.I.D.A.”, which eventually came to stand for the Open Forum Into Developing Adulthood. It is our dream and vision to continue this mission at the Circle A Summit and beyond. This open forum is a chance for all of us to come as both the students and the teachers, to learn from each other and grow together as we continue to work on preparing the next generation to become all that God created them to be. We will curate content, wisdom, stories, and experience from our community, carrying on the legacy that has been planted in our hearts.
