Keys To The Kingdom
June 5-8, 2025
As youth today, sometimes we’re all so focused on the then and now. Decisions and regrets from the past, stress, and the worries of life all cloud our minds.
But we should often remind ourselves that we have something to look forward to in the near future. We can see it, just on the horizon. The holy city, and the new Jerusalem!
At this retreat, we’re seeking to explore the theme of Heaven, and learn more about the place that God has promised us. We’ll discover the significance and splendor of heaven, and a better understanding of our theme verse in Hebrews 11:16, where Paul talks about God’s people desiring a “heavenly homeland.”
It’s our hope and prayer that by attending this retreat, you can grasp the essence of heaven, and unlock the keys to the kingdom!
