The most important moment of the five15 year is 115 days away: our annual five15 Retreat. 115 days from today, we will all load up our cars, hit the road and arrive at a retreat center to devote the next 65 hours or so to seeing what we can see. In God’s Word, about God himself, his Son Jesus Christ, and what Jesus did for us when He died on the Cross.

What is a retreat? It sounds like you’re running away.
Sort of, yes! When high school students and their parents take time—unhurried time in a different environment—to encounter God, good things happen. This retreat will be about what it means to live for Jesus. Understanding the gospel. Applying it to our lives. We’ll also be kicking off another year of five15. The fun begins Wednesday afternoon, August 22, and we’ll finish Saturday, August 25.

Who should come?
This retreat is for rising 9th-12th graders and their parents. We hope to have 100% of the eligible teens and parents there.

Where will it be?
We’re abandoning suburban hype for the heart of Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley. We have outgrown the Concrord Retreat Center, so this year we are moving to Massanetta Springs in Harrisonburg, VA.

What will we do?
On our retreat we will worship God by singing together, hearing God’s word preached and experiencing fellowship. We are also looking forward to a worship & ministry night, family time, volleyball, and much more! You won’t want to miss out!

Stay tuned for details. Remember: registration starts TONIGHT!
