Why would someone consider joining us for our fall retreat?

Retreats and conferences can be life transforming. Why? One of the biggest reasons to consider jumping in with our fall retreat is the impact of what happens when you spend a lot of time with people over a day and a half. Makes sense, right? Going on a fall retreat is the equivalent of a semester and a half of time invested in a community. So when someone goes on the fall retreat, they go from feeling like an outsider, to feeling really connected!

That connection is huge when it comes to building a community. Everyone talks about community these days - but the way that real community happens is when people really know each other and trust each other. The only way that I know that trust is built is through time spent with other people.

Our goal with the GreenHouse is to create a family feel. We want you to feel like you are a part of a family - that you belong, that you have a place at the table, and that you’re fully accepted!

This year we are doing our fall retreat with 4 other churches as well - campus focused churches filled with people your age. It’s 45 minutes away and it’s inexpensive - $49 for a first timer (we also have scholarships available if needed - email joe@newhopehaslett.com for more about that).

In all my years working with college students, I’ve never heard one person say: “I wish I hadn’t gone on that retreat!” This is something you don’t want to miss. To sign up, you can click here.
