High School Retreat

We had a wonderful retreat in NC! Our speaker was Simon Guillebaud, he shared his experience as a missionary in Burundi, Africa. He also encouraged the students to seek a passion for Jesus. The ministry time was amazing and the student worship team did a great job in ministering worship to the students.

The students also had several sessions in team building. It was very encouraging to see each student cheer on their class mates as they were challenged in each session and the overall spirit of the HS was strengthened.

The retreat had two other groups that were there, both were senior citizen Christian groups. The only interaction with us was during the meals. They continued to tell me how impressed they were with our students. The character and respect showed to them was a blessing and truly blessed them.

I am so thankful we can take 3 days off of school and focus on building a strong relationship with each other and the Lord. We are very blessed and honored to work with you as parents and I know it is going to be a wonderful year as we continue to develop your child academically and spiritually. Thank you for trusting and allowing us to partner with you.
