Winter Youth Retreat 2025  

December 27–30 | Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters (Andrews, NC) + Skiing in Maggie Valley, NC

Get ready for four unforgettable days of Gospel-centered teaching, high-adventure recreation, and time with friends in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina! We’ll kick off the retreat at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters (SWO) in Andrews, NC—where everything from worship to recreation is fully planned and Christ-focused—followed by two days of skiing in Maggie Valley.  

This year’s theme is:  "That You May Know You Have Eternal Life"  
A Study in 1 John  

We’ll explore the Apostle John’s powerful reminder that our assurance of salvation is grounded not in our own efforts, but in the finished work of Jesus. Through worship, small groups, and practical teaching, students will be encouraged to grow in their confidence in Christ.
