AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM PASTOR DEREK:
We have extended the registration deadline for Elevate’s Winter Retreat to February 1st! We have also lowered the cost of registration back to the early bird price of $130.
We have done this because we want EVERY student to be able to join us for this incredible weekend.
If you have a student in 7th-12th grade I want to personally encourage you to make this retreat a priority in your child’s calendar. You don’t want them to miss this lifechanging weekend. You can download an info packet HERE: info-packet or pick up a physical copy at Elevate tonight. Feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have.
Blessings on you and your family!
