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!
