Rest is important! We’re taking just one week off in November after a full weekend at our High School Fall Retreat.
High School Fall Retreat
“Go and make disciples of all nations.” Have these words of Jesus ever confused you, or even intimidated you? While these words from the Great Commission are for all believers, talking to other people about Jesus isn’t always as easy or as natural as we would like it to be. How do we spread the gospel in Indiana in 2024?
This year, our Fall Retreat is called “Spread the Word!” During this weekend, we'll be spending time learning why we should spread the gospel, how our lives are an example of Christ, how to have good conversations, and what happens next.
Registration is now closed. Please pray for our students and leaders this weekend!
Fall Bonfire
This annual bonfire is a great touchstone for students to invite their friends to something special! From 5-8 p.m. we’ll be having a large bonfire, playing different games, eating food together, and hearing testimonies from two students. This year’s bonfire will take place at Outlook. See you there!
Costume Party
