For years, our summer retreats have taken us to the mountains… but this year—we’re heading to the BEACH!

We haven’t had a summer retreat since 2021, so this makes it even more special. We can’t wait to get away together, grow in the Lord, and make unforgettable memories as a youth family.

Save the Date:
 July 29 – August 1

Think beach days, late-night hangs, worship, the Word, and time to unplug and draw closer to Jesus together. This is going to be something special.

Registration will be open from June 14-July 19, 2026.

We are excited to invite our youth to this year’s Summer Retreat, “Waves of Mercy, Waves of Grace,” a powerful and refreshing few days at the beach designed to help students grow in their relationship with the Lord, build meaningful friendships, and step away from the busyness of life.

Our theme comes from Lamentations 3:22-23 — “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Just like the waves of the ocean never stop rolling onto the shore, God’s grace and mercy never stop reaching us. No matter what this past year has looked like—whether full of victories or struggles—this retreat is an opportunity for students to experience the truth that God’s mercy is new, personal, and available every single day.

Throughout the retreat, students will:

• Spend intentional time in worship and Bible teaching
• Be encouraged through small groups and meaningful conversations
• Enjoy fun beach activities, games, and free time
• Participate in powerful moments like sunrise devotionals and evening gatherings
• Be reminded that God’s mercy is new and His grace is sufficient

Our heart is that every student would leave this retreat:

• Refreshed spiritually
• Encouraged in their faith
• Connected in community
• Confident in God’s mercy and grace over their life

Whether your student is walking closely with the Lord or still figuring things out, this retreat is a place where they can encounter Jesus in a real and personal way.
