Come get away for a weekend full of rest, laughter, and connection. Our retreat will be held at the beautiful Camp Tejas located 90 mi. west of Houston, where we’ll have a chance to connect more deeply with God and one another, play silly games, and re-calibrate as a faith village.
The theme for this year’s retreat is “Saying Goodbye, Saying Hello”. We’ve gone through a season of many changes, losses and heartache. What does it look like to welcome God’s joy and presence as we look back and look forward.
We hope you’ll join us for our upcoming church-wide retreat!
