You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.                       Matthew 5:14-16

Get ready for an unforgettable weekend at Winter Retreat 2027! Join students from across our campuses as we head to New Life Ranch for three days of powerful worship, biblical teaching, meaningful friendships, and unforgettable fun.

Throughout the weekend, we'll explore what it means to let our faith shine in a dark world as we study Matthew 5:14–16 together.
