Fall Retreat, held at New Life Ranch in Colcord, Oklahoma, provides an opportunity for contemplation and intentional Bible study. These times “on the mountain” allow us to get away from the busyness of life and listen. More contemplative than Spring Retreat, fall retreat is a more socratic, two-day experience of worship, Bible teaching, small group discussion, and community-building exercises designed to help our students learn more of the Kingdom and their place in it.

Every spring, our middle and high school students again travel to New Life Ranch in Colcord, Oklahoma, to worship God and commune with each other. Spring Retreat focuses on big truths – fundamental ideals that ground our students in the word and their identity as Image bearers. From rediscovering the nature of God to learning practical tools for Bible study and daily life, Spring Retreat gives students a sense of the ongoing cruciality of biblically-grounded faith and inspires them to live as renewed, transformed people (Romans 12:2). Olympic games, small group discussion, prayerfully curated worship moments, and time in nature coalesce to create a uniquely enriching experience.
