Theme Statement
Has God complimented your life, or completed it? Has he been your steering wheel, or just your spare tire? You’ve wrestled with him, but have you surrendered? You’ve prayed, but have you listened? At this retreat, we will learn how God isn’t a distant concept, but instead, a friend who wants you to experience real connection and transformation.
Encountering God
Drawn by the love of Christ, our hearts are filled with a deep desire to know Him and to encounter God personally. Dwelling in Christ, you become acquainted with Him and know Him as a personal friend. You hear His voice and follow His will. You lay down your heart, your deepest desires, hopes, and fears in His hands, knowing that you are known and loved by God. With His abiding love, Christ will manifest Himself to you. You will daily walk with Christ and sit at His feet, believing in Him, learning of Him, resting in Him, and trusting in Him. His presence will abide with you. Each day you will come nearer still to His heart of infinite love. In the light of Christ, you will awake in His perfect likeness.
