Remain is a youth retreat inspired by John 15:4—“Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.” This retreat invites young people to step away from the noise of everyday life and encounter God’s promise of renewal, restoration, and hope. Through worship, reflection, and community, participants are encouraged to let go of the past and open their hearts to the new life God is creating in them.

Meetings: Every day we will have morning and evening meetings according to the schedule. Youth will be presenting the worship thoughts at each meeting. 

Small Groups: Throughout the course of the retreat, we divide into small groups to discuss what we’ve heard.

Group Activities: We plan to have a variety of activities at this retreat. We will have special outdoor activities on Thursday afternoon and Sunday morning.

Group Outreach: We are planning to have outreach on Friday and Sabbath afternoons, including community service and door-to-door evangelism.

Music: Please bring your instruments and your voices! At the retreat, we will have plenty of opportunities for you to participate in the music, including song service, special music, and string orchestra!

Meals: We will have meals provided at this retreat. Breakfast will be on your own, while lunches and suppers will be available for purchase during registration. $10 per meal per person.
