What To Expect at IGNITE!

We will join together for eight days of Spirit-led, God-centered worship, messages, activities, and fellowship, all aimed to ignite spiritual revival! 


Here's a taste of what you can expect at the 2024 Feast of Tabernacles...

Enriching
Sabbath Services

High Sabbath Services on the 1st Day of the Feast [Oct 17] &  on the 8th Day [Oct 24] Weekly Sabbath Service on Saturday, Oct 19. Services will include praise & worship, prayer, and a sermon/bible study with interactive discussion.


Additional Bible studies & discussions will be held on various other days as well.

Revitalizing
Praise & Worship

We welcome and encourage expressive, Spirit-led worship, such as: singing, instruments, shofars, raised hands, dance, flags, shouts for joy, or even bowing in reverence.


However you decide to present your offering of praise to the Lord, make sure it's coming from a humble and grateful heart!

Cozy Community Meals

Since we are commanded to rejoice and FEAST before the LORD our God during His appointed Feast Days, we figure there's no better way to do that than to gather around the table to break bread with one another as God's family!


[More details about these community meals will be announced closer to date.]

Edifying
Fellowship

Fellowship is so important! That is why we want to make sure to create enough space for relaxed fun and meaningful fellowship that will build close relationships, facilitate deep conversations and biblical discussions, and produce a family-like community that will last a lifetime!


(...into eternity!)

Empowered
Spiritual Gifts

We're all equipped with spiritual gifts through the Holy Spirit that dwells within us, as the body of Christ!


Let's ignite our spiritual gifts in order to better love, serve, and edify one another, as well as love and serve those in the world as we spread the Gospel of the Kingdom of God!

Deep Inner
Healing

Trauma, abuse, betrayal, rejection, and other types of hurt we've experienced throughout our lives can keep us from walking in the true joy, peace, and freedom God has for us!


But there is complete [
and instant!] inner-healing through our Messiah! Are you ready to receive it?

Complete
Biblical Wellness

Health and wellness is such an important part of our calling! Without it, we can't fully function in our God-given purpose! 


Yet many believers struggle with physical disease 
&/or mental illness. But there is hope and healing through Yah's Word, His creation, and His Holy Spirit! "...and by His stripes, we ARE healed!"

Powerful
 Deliverance

A Spirit-filled believer who lives a godly lifestyle, yet continually struggles with difficult, persisting problems that they can't seem to overcome no matter what they do or how hard they try, could very well be dealing with a spiritual issue.


That is when deliverance may be needed. 
It's time to set the spiritually oppressed free!

Mind-Body-Spirit
Rejuvenation

This Feast isn't about trying to fill every moment with some sort of meeting, activity, or adventure (though, there will be plenty of time for those things!)


We think it's important to allow enough downtime to relax in nature, spend quality time with our Heavenly Father, and take a moment to refresh the body, soul, and spirit.

The Location

Sovereign Fireside is a 6-acre "garden of Eden" located in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Forest City, NC.


 Owned & operated by a spirit-led family of believers, Sovereign is a spiritual growth oasis where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and find a deeper connection with YHVH. 

Spend your Feast glamping under the stars surrounded by the beautiful colors of Fall!

Hold the chickens & ducks, collect farm-fresh eggs every morning, soak in the wood-fired hot tub, share lattes at the Gezzelig Coffee House and warm up around the campfire in a close-knit community of like-minded believers!


Sovereign Fireside Glampground features:

Beautiful Outdoor Kitchen

The common-area outdoor kitchen includes a premium gas grill, refrigerator & freezer, kitchen sink, counterspace, electric outlets, cooking implements, standard coffee maker & coffee supplies. There is also a full kitchen for use inside the Gezzelig Coffee House.
