We have a lot of questions about our faith — questions like:

how do I read my Bible?

how do I pray?

how do I make a difference?

The reality is: we want to know the answers to these questions, but we often don't know where to start. What if the answers to these questions are not as difficult as we think they are?

During our Fall Youth retreat, we will be answering some of these questions to help us grow in our faith.

All 6th through 12th grade youth are invited!

There is no better way to kick of a life-changing year of fun, fellowship, friends, and faith than joining us on our Fall Retreat at Bonita Park! (www.bonitapark.com)For our confirmands, this is a required trip!

The cost for the weekend is only $125 (scholarships available!) that covers all the fun including lodging, food, program, ropes courses, paint ball, pool parties, campfires, and more! Sign up today!
