  • Young Adult Retreat

    September 26-28, 2025 —— See you next year - September 18-20, 2026

    Step away from the busyness of life and into a weekend of renewal! You’re invited to rest, recharge, and reconnect—with God, with others, and with the beauty of Creation. This retreat offers space to worship deeply, build meaningful connections with peers, and grow your relationship with Jesus. Weekend speaker is Tuombe Selestine.

    Whether you crave quiet moments in nature or the thrill of adventure, there’s something for you—horseback riding, canoeing, ziplining, or soaring on the Giant Swing. Whatever your pace, this weekend is your opportunity to step out of the ordinary and into transformation.
