Young Adults Retreat

March 6-8, 2026

Registration Is Open!

If you’re 18-24 years old – chances are you’ve been running—school, work, life, all of it.

But what if you hit pause for one weekend to breathe, laugh hard, ask deep questions, and reconnect with what actually matters?
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a wake-up call.
Surrounded by beauty, lake, bonfires, new friends, and the kind of teaching that stirs your soul—not just your schedule—you’ll get space to wrestle with your doubts, dig into your faith, and rediscover your purpose.
Vibes? Immaculate.
Think epic worship, raw conversations, competitive rec games, late-night hangs, and coffee-fueled mornings with people who just get it.
This is where community meets calling.
Whether you’re confident in your faith or just curious, this weekend is for you. No pressure, no pretending. Just real people chasing something bigger than themselves.

Caity Jean

Music/Worship

As a worship leader, Caity Jean Ardavanis’ heart is that the students would understand the truth that they are singing. She is passionate about communicating the gospel through song, word, and deed. She is eager to use God’s Word to share that we do not worship God solely through songs and melodies, but by offering our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to Him. This is our true and proper worship (Rom.12:1). Leading worship alongside students is one of her greatest joys.
