Identity conference
The most important factor of the identity conference is that when Christ begins to live in a person at salvation, He forever changes their identity. They are made new (2 Corinthians 5:17) and their life and identity is now defined by the fact that they are loved by Him, redeemed by Him, filled by Him, complete in Him, and made new in Him. We show them through Scripture that God reveals Himself as our complete source of life. Our hope is that those who hear this message will learn to depend on His life in them on a daily basis and find that all of their needs are met in Him.
As people move from knowledge to experience in their Christian walks, we are excited to introduce them to the power of Scripture and show them how it is relevant to their lives.

Surrender Weekend
This event is designed to show people the way we were created to live: surrendered to Christ in every moment. The material deals with the reality of suffering in the world and their need for Christ in order to point them to Christ as their Source for living life. They are challenged to do more than just go to church or get involved; they are challenged to choose to depend on Christ and surrender to His life in them every day, in every moment and every decision. The surrendered life allows believers to experience the full and abundant life that Christ gives.
Grace Retreat
This retreat is designed to take people through various stories in the Scriptures and expose them to the incredible grace of God, not only for salvation but also for our day-to-day lives. The objective of this curriculum is to teach people about God's unceasing grace and how practical and real it is for us in every moment. God's grace changes everything and invites those who get a taste of it into a deeper desire for more in their relationship with God. As people see how powerful God's grace is and how much it covers, they can experience the freedom to treat others with this same grace they have received.
Our prayer is that as these truths are revealed to others, they will be transformed by the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:2) and equipped to live out of their identity in Christ.

Infocus
This 4 session retreat curriculum explores the biblical truth that life is only really lived and "InFocus" when our eyes are fixed on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2). Session 1 is "Loosing Focus" and explores Genesis 2 and 3, explaining what really took place at The Fall. "One Focus" is the second session that follows Abraham on his journey to offer Isaac as a sacrifice to God, how his focus went from God's promises to God Himself. The third session is called "Out of Focus" and looks at how we often times look to others to resuce us instead of Christ, using 1 Kings 12:1-15 as our main text. The last session dives deeply into the reality that life is only found, lived, and actually "InFocus" when our eyes are fixed on Jesus. Several texts are used for this session, ending with Hebrews 12:2.
Abiding
This 3 session retreat curriculum dives into the reality of our identity in Christ, the impact that makes on our daily lives as individuals and on our role in the context of Christian community. The first session is called "Something New" with 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 as the main text. Session 2 is called "Living As One" and looks at 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 to see how being the body reveals to us that He is our Source for living in unity. "Jesus is Everything" is the final session for this curriculum. We dive deeply into John 15:5-17 and what it means to live from Him, our vine as we are His branches.
Uncovering Marriage Myths
During the two-day retreat for couples, we walk through several marriage myths that many hold whether they recognize them as myths or not. These myths can wreak havoc on a marriage and lead to an unhealthy, very challenging relationship. We move from each myth by exploring the life that can be found in marriage by finding Christ as our Source for life and fulfillment, in the context of the marriage relationship as well as in every area of life.
