The Details
Friday Night
Intro Session
We’re starting retreat with a bang! Get ready for team games, loud praise, lots of laughs, and a message that sets the stage for everything ahead. Bring the energy—tonight is all about breaking the ice, building community, and kicking off an unforgettable weekend.
Saturday
Workshops & Plenary
Day two is STACKED! We’ve got messages from the word of God and workshop on the stuff everyone actually wants to talk about, why pain exists, how science and faith fit together, navigating today’s social issues, truth about tech and so much more. Also gear up for our Winter Games that pull the whole day together. It’s a full day designed to challenge, refresh, and encourage.
Sunday
Workshop, Messages, and Commissioning
Our final day centers on the gospel, the good news that changes everything. A chance to meet Christ, surrender to Him, and experience a powerful moment of worship and response. We’ll end by commissioning everyone back into their schools, families, and communities, carrying the light of Jesus into our everyday life.
