Internationals Outreach Retreat

By / Fri, Apr 25 at 4pm – Sun, Apr 27 at 1pm

Join us for a fun and refreshing weekend retreat at Ocean City, New Jersey on April 25 at 4pm – April 27 at 1pm. 

This year's theme, "Jesus, the Resurrection," invites us to explore one of the most important and life-changing truths of the Christian faith. Together we will dive into questions like: What does the resurrection mean? Why is it so important to understand? How can we personally experience the resurrection hope that Jesus offers? Through engaging discussions, inspiring talks, and meaningful conversations, we will discover how the resurrection impacts our lives today and gives us lasting hope for the future. 

But that is not all – this retreat is not just about reflection; it is about having fun and building connections! Whether you are seeking spiritual renewal, looking for new friendships, or just need a relaxing weekend by the ocean, this retreat has something for everyone. The retreat is opened to everyone.

The cost is $100 per person (shared room) and $200 per family (one room). This fee includes two nights of hotel accomodations, meals and 3 days of retreat activities. Spots are limited, so register soon to reserve your place!

Parenting on the Edge

By / Sundays at 9am, through February 23, 2025

How do we effectively parent the children God has given us? Many of us come into parenting only knowing the examples we had as children growing up – positively and negatively. This class will address, through varied speakers and discussion leaders, principles of biblical wisdom and then seek to apply that to situations in parenting. A class for parents and future parents, come prepared to ask questions, hear perspectives and then be free to discuss. 

In this class: 

  1. Parents are encouraged and challenged to see God’s call on them as parents.
  2. Parents are equipped with simple, memorable biblical framework for making decisions for their families.
  3. Parents develop friendships and meaningful relationships
  4. Parents are encouraged to ask questions and discuss the topics each week
