WINTER RETREAT 2017
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
DECEMBER 28-31, 2017
WELCOME TO WINTER RETREAT!
We have some amazing counselors for you this year that we have hand-selected to serve you, to walk with you, and to guide you during this retreat. These counselors aren't just random people but all of them have a heart for you as teenagers and more than that, they love and believe this gospel of Jesus Christ that they yearn for you to fully understand.
Whether this is your first time, fourth time, or seventh time we believe no retreat is exactly the same. Each retreat has its unique elements but also we believe that God will teach you something different if you are willing to hear and learn.
SPIRITUAL TEACHING
Here's a teaser for the series: The world tells teens that they should have it all, and have it now. Too often temporary passions are elevated over those things of lasting significance. But what happens when teens are given a clear vision of the future, one that rightly places God at the center, clearly defines heaven and hell, and rightly sees Christ—not them—sitting on an eternal throne? What if all of life was lived through the lens of eternity? Would students not see the greater beauty and joy of loving God and loving others, compared to the empty pursuit of personal pleasure?
Through four sessions Francis Chan unpacks what Scripture says about eternity, debunking misconceptions about heaven and hell. He will inspire students to lay aside what is fleeting and passionately pursue God and His mission in light of eternity.
