Fall Retreat!
Fall Retreat 2025
November 7–9 • Blaine, WA
$175.00 per student. We have scholarships available, so don’t let money be the reason you don’t come! Just let Jeff know!
A Weekend to Slow Down, Listen, Play, and Grow
Step away from the rush of life and spend a relaxed weekend with friends by Birch Bay. We’ll worship together, hang out on the water, and rediscover how good it feels to slow down and truly listen to God and to each other.
Rooted and Listening
Our theme this year is Rooted and Listening. We’ll spend time working through a few sessions from the Cultivating a Listening Life curriculum, learning how to tune our hearts to God’s voice and to one another in community.
Afternoon on the Water
Saturday afternoon we’ll head out on The Selene, a 60-foot ocean trawler owned by Mike and Sarah McEvoy. They’ve been taking our students out for over 15 years — trusted, safe, and full of incredible stories from their 46 years of boating experience (including trips to Southeast Alaska!).
Life Together
We’ll cook meals, play games, share conversations, and enjoy plenty of unhurried time together. It’s a simple weekend — but one that’s full of meaning.
Flexible Timing
Because this retreat is local (right here in Whatcom County), you’ve got some flexibility. Can’t make it Friday night? Join us Saturday morning before the boat cruise. Need to leave early? No problem — just be there as much as you can. If you need flexibility, talk with us — we’ll see what we can do to make it work!
Next Steps

Random Acts of Kindness!
Wednesday, October 29, our students will be taking part in a special event we’re calling “Random Acts of Kindness Night.”
We’ll be heading out into the community together for about an hour to do something fun and meaningful that encourages others. It’ll be a great opportunity for students to put their faith into action in simple, creative ways!

HS Summer Trip | Unite
UNITE
July 15-19, 2024
Do you feel pressured? To measure up? To be the best, the brightest, the funniest, the prettiest, the strongest? To try harder, work longer, never let up, never give in, and never quit?
DO YOU WONDER WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO DO WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
Does all your striving, all your efforts to keep up, to stand out, to be noticed, to make someone proud only lead to being tired, exhausted, burnt-out, worn-out, fatigued, and weary?
IF SO, THEN JESUS HAS SOMETHING HE WANTS YOU TO HEAR…
‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.’
JOIN US THIS SUMMER AT UNITE AND LET JESUS GIVE YOU THE REST OF YOUR LIFE – FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
This July, we will be flying to San Diego for an event called Unite 2024. We will be staying at San Diego State University!
