2026 LJCC POLAR PLUNGE
January 24, 2026
Picture
​Are you ready for the 4th annual Polar Bear Plunge?!?  What is a Polar Bear Plunge? Individuals will raise pledges to jump into the frigid waters of Lake James to raise money. Our Polar Bear Plunge is not for the faint of heart. Those courageous souls, (some might say crazy) who splash their way into icy cold winter waters can claim they are ‘freezin’ for a reason’. This event will definitely bring warmth to your heart, as well as a chill to your toes. Everyone is welcome to come fellowship, eat snack foods, sit by a warm fire, and watch some crazy people jump into the frigid water!  We are sure to have a great time as we help students come to know Christ better this summer! SCROLL DOWN FOR DIRECTIONS.
