November

High School Retreat | Nov. 5-6
A weekend retreat just for high school students! This retreat will provide students grades 9-12 with a chance to disconnect from their busy lives and to spend the weekend participating in musical worship, small groups, high-energy games, unique outdoor experiences and hopefully, a much needed break from the craziness of being a high school student!

Join us for a retreat weekend themed Identity as we address some of the questions, topics and anxieties of being a current high school student who is investing in their faith. For 9-12 graders

Student Worship Leader Retreat 1 | Nov. 12-14
A unique weekend experience for students who are interested in leading musical worship! This retreat will provide students (grades 8-12) with non-traditional worship experiences, workshops with experienced worship leaders and affirmation of their calling to usher others into the presence of God.

While this retreat is a great stand-alone program, we highly recommend participating in both this fall Student Worship Leader Retreat as well as our Spring retreat and Summer Student Worship Leader Development Week! This year-long program is created to not only empower students in their musical gifts but to also train and equip students to lead musical worship at their youth groups, churches and even Next Generation Ministries’ events! For 8-12 graders
