Get ready for a time to re-energize, re-orient, and be refreshed in the word of God! It can be exciting and scary trying to grow in your faith in Jesus and live it out among your friends.
The Fall Retreat will encourage and strengthen students in going deeper into faith in God and how they can practically and effectively shine for Jesus. Through worship, teaching, breakout sessions and conversations, students will be empowered to grow in practices of being deeply connected to God while also gain helpful steps in being on fire for Jesus on a daily basis. Through the retreat students will enjoy and grow in community at Shiloh Bible Camp's amazing facilities with food, activities, and games fostering memories and deeper community.
