Welcome to PARTY ON THE WEEKEND 2025!
Get ready for a weekend designed to challenge, inspire, and transform the lives of 6th-12th grade students at our upcoming Student Retreat! This is more than just an event—it’s an incredible opportunity for students to experience God in a fresh, personal way while building lifelong friendships.
From powerful worship to practical teaching, engaging games to meaningful breakout sessions, the Student Retreat will be the perfect chance for your student to unplug from their routine and dive deeper into their faith. With our theme "Beyond Different," rooted in 1 Peter 1:13, we’ll explore what it truly means to live set apart and fully focused on the hope we have in Christ.
Whether your student is new to church or has been growing in their faith for years, this Student Retreat will equip and encourage them to take their next step with Jesus. We can’t wait to welcome your family to the biggest student ministry event of the year! Prepare for an unforgettable weekend filled with growth, connection, and transformation!
