Tired of feeling like your faith is stuck in the shadows? Ready to let your light shine?
Join us for Emanate, a fall retreat designed for students ages 13-18. We'll be diving into Matthew 5:14-16, where Jesus tells us, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
At Emanate, we'll explore what it truly means to radiate Christ's love in our schools, homes, and communities. This weekend will be packed with powerful worship, engaging speakers, fun games, and meaningful cabin discussions.

Through engaging Bible stories (like Jesus washing feet), exciting worship, fun games, and hands-on activities, they'll learn practical ways to show kindness, forgiveness, prayer, and service to others.
It’s more than just learning – it’s about equipping kids from preschoolers to preteens to actively live out Jesus' love every day. Give your child a fun-filled week of discovering how to make a difference by truly living out their faith.
