Kick off the school year with one of our favorite weekends of the year! Join us September 11–13 as we head to a beautiful lakefront home on Lake Norman for our annual EYC Fall Retreat! Nestled right on the water, the house features spacious gathering areas, a private dock, plenty of room to spread out, incredible lake views, and the perfect setting for a weekend away with friends.

This year’s theme is ’Set Apart.’ Throughout the weekend, we’ll explore what it means to live as Christians who are called to be different, not by standing out for ourselves, but by reflecting the love, grace, and character of Jesus in our everyday lives. As a new school year begins, we’ll discover how God invites each of us to be set apart for His purpose!

The weekend will be a great mix of reconnecting after the summer, building friendships for those who may be new, worshiping together, meaningful discussions, fun games and activities, swimming, great food, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy Lake Norman. We’ll leave the church Friday afternoon, travel to the retreat in advisor-driven vehicles, and return Sunday afternoon around lunchtime!

Whether this is your first retreat or your tenth, we can’t wait to spend the weekend with you. We hope you’ll join us for an unforgettable start to the school year! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out :)
