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.
