Retreats

"Come and See"

Most retreats are led by a team of students who prepare diligently developing all the skills needed to facilitate a transformational experience for their peers.  A major component of each retreat is "witness talks", also known as life experiences, written and delivered by the team leaders.  After each talk, the participants are invited to discuss the topic further in small groups and how it relates to their lives. Throughout the retreat are prayer services connected to the retreat themes, fun, games, food and relaxation.

Each retreat address a different spiritual theme and may use different methods to help participants grow in their faith. Each retreat can be viewed as one small piece to a puzzle and when pieced together, it creates a larger picture.
