The category for this event is a RETREAT. This type of event is focused on helping teenagers grow spiritually and build relationships. Over a weekend, they'll practice the spiritual habits of spending time with God and others. Spring is the perfect time for a weekend event that challenges students to go deeper in their faith. A spring weekend event is an opportunity to take all the relationships, influence, and ideas you've built during the first six months of the year and leverage them for a significant spiritual moment for your students. This weekend event can take place locally in host homes, with sessions taking place at your church, or at an off-site venue. Whatever works for you! The right weekend event, when done strategically, will help your students. . . connect with God. connect with each other. connect with your ministry. We may not be able to do all the event-planning for you, but this resource is designed to give you just about everything you need to pull it off on your own. All our events are built to be flexible! You can customize this event to your ministry's needs, but here's how we recommend using this one: use this event for spiritual growth, outreach and fun.
