2026 Youth winter Retreat

This years retreat purpose is to help our youth find their identity in Christ and Christ alone. Many of our youth struggle with the following statements.
“I am what I have.”
“I am what I do.”
“I am what others think of me.”
“I am not enough.”

The answer to their questions is not ‘looking and finding’ but ‘preparing and becoming’ who Christ would have them to be.


With that understanding, we pray that those who attend, would be encouraged and challenged to press on with their relationship with Jesus, because when it’s all said and done, truly LIFE is and will be found.  Anything else will ultimately lead to destruction.
