Ichthus Underground
Ichthus values all different parts of the Body of Christ...especially those parts that are overlooked and underserved by the mainstream. That's why we've created a space for youth subcultures that tend to stay out of the mainstream: Goth, punk, hardcore, emo, and others.
We've partnered with two well-respected ministries, Graverobbers and Hope for the Rejected, to provide a safe and accepting place for subculture kids (and adults) to hang out. It's a tent called the Ichthus Underground, and it's located along the perimeter fence, not far from the Deep End. Whether you identify with these subcultures or not, check out what these ministries are doing to provide the love and hope of Jesus to a group that the church often overlooks.
The Ichthus Underground is open from 10 am until just after Midnight (12:30 am). Graverobbers has a whole schedule of fun activities and ministry seminars. Check out their schedule below:
