Option 6: Encounter Christ as You Are

Sunday, May 31, 2026

 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM

These 8-hour retreats are designed for busy high school students and working adults (18+) to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ. The retreats are ideal for all who experience weariness or burdens and would like to receive more of the lasting fruits of the Holy Spirit, including direction and healing.  Not only should retreatants receive tools to better equip them for dealing with life in general but the encounter with Christ should allow them to receive their next steps to better yoke with Him and to better receive His rest and His light burdens.

These retreats should help [potential] missionary disciples seek Christ's guidance and direction for the months to come. They do require that retreatants complete Spiritual Exercise #1 and Spiritual Exercise #2 beforehand.

Each weekend uses a different program, but they're independent of one another.  Therefore, retreatants may attend one or more of the retreats.

Cost

There is no cost to the retreatant, but donations are welcomed.
