Registration is now open for the 2023 Youth Winter Retreat, which is for Jr. High and Sr. High students (grades 6 through 12).

Winter Retreat is a great opportunity to get away from all the pressures in Northern Virginia to hear from the Lord, and grow closer to Him. Besides hearing from God, we strongly believe students need to be together with other brothers and sisters in Christ.

RETREAT LOCATION: REFRESHING MOUNTAIN RETREAT AND ADVENTURE CENTER

We will travel to Refreshing Mountain, located approximately 20 miles north of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1983 by Marlin and Sharon Harnish as a place where families could be refreshed. The Harnish family still operates the retreat center. The emergency contact number is 717-738-1490.

COST

Register by Wednesday, January 11, 2023: $205

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Tyler Holder is the Adult Ministries and College Pastor at Gospel City Church in Granger, Indiana (near South Bend). He loves and enjoys his family, the outdoors, coffee, people, and most of all, the Lord. Tyler is friends with anyone and everyone and draws his energy from being around people. His passion is to be connected with others to bring them the message of the Gospel and God’s Word. He will undoubtedly make you laugh, mostly through stories from his own life (think drilling a hole in your living room floor while trying to drill through a 2×4). Tyler will also challenge you to see God is not just for Sunday mornings but the center and purpose of your entire life. Tyler is the husband to Janelle and father to his son, Jax, and his daughter, Adalie, and loves his rat terrier Benelli.
