Middle School Retreat
November 4-6
7-8th grade
Skycroft Conference Center
$150
We live an unsettled age — a culture that’s chasing trends. Always looking for what is next, our world is seeking yet never satisfied. The roots are shallow. The focus is self. There is no joy. The outcome is worse than nothing — it’s death.
This is the way of the world.
But not the Christian.
God’s people have been called to something lasting, something deeper — a life lived by faith in the all-satisfying Savior, Jesus Christ. This faith is firm. It goes deep. It answers your questions, assures your eternity, and changes your identity.
This weekend will unpack two truths and two treasures God has given His people, which lead to a firmly planted faith. Psalm 1:3
Who is speaking?
Stephen Boom serves as an elder and associate pastor of Grace Bible Church in Richmond, VA. His primary focus is leading the youth ministry. By God’s grace, he heard the Gospel, repented of his sins, and trusted in Jesus Christ for salvation at a young age. Through college and the years following, the Lord grew his faith and desire for teaching, discipling, and leading others to know and enjoy Christ. Steve is currently pursuing an M.Div at The Master's Seminary, and he and his wife, Amy, have four kids who are all 8 and under. So... we don't have any hobbies, but please pray for us! : )

High School Retreat

Skycroft Conference Center

Immanuel Student Ministries exists to anchor students in the great reality that Jesus alone is the truth and Jesus alone satisfies. This Fall we invite High Schoolers to a retreat that will focus on teaching how to anchor our identities in the truth of Christ and walk in the abundant life that only he gives. Through teaching and small group breakout sessions, our students will engage with the Scripture’s teaching about the life Jesus calls his people to have.
