Weekend Retreats

VA Conference Retreats (Nov. & Dec.) & Richmond District Retreat (February)

    • MS Conference Retreat, (generally the 2nd weekend in November)
      Eagle Eyrie Retreat Center, Lynchburg, VA
      This retreat is for MS students ONLY!
    • HS Conference Retreat, (generally the 1st full weekend in December)
      Eagle Eyrie Retreat Center, Lynchburg, VA
      This retreat is for HS students ONLY!
    • Richmond District Retreat, (generally the last full weekend in February)
      Eagle Eyrie Retreat Center, Lynchburg, VA
      This retreat is for 6th - 12th grade students.

These retreats are a two and a half day weekend full of rockin' worship, great teaching from amazing speakers, and meeting a ton of great new people. We stay in houses up on a mountain with bunk beds. Trust me, nothing wakes you up like a refreshing freezing cold shower. Hahaha! It is a great experience to have fun and worship all in one. It also is a wonderful opportunity to take your faith to a whole new level, take it from someone who knows!

Snowshoe Ski Trip

January every year...

THE SKI TRIP IS AMAZING. It is an extremly brain blasting adventure. It will knock your socks off, or maybe some skis! There is nothing more exillerating than going down a ski slope faster than ever having nothing stopping you but the wind on your face! Or, if your not a fast type of person, I would suggest a bunny slope.  You can also snow board on this trip, which I haven't done yet but am eager to experience. Sam says snow boarding is oober fun!  

This year about 20 youth headed for Snow Shoe Mountain for two days of skiing and had a blast!  If interested in attending next January, contact Kris Coleman!

  • Rock Gospel Show Choir Mission Trip - Summer


    You may have,
    A) seen our spectacular shochoir perform in church
    B) have a friend who is in the showchoir
    C) heard about it but think you can't sing or dance
    D) have no idea what I'm talking about

No matter what your answer is you have a place in our praise group! If you answered A) thank you for the compliment and we hope you'll join us on Thursdays from 4:30-6:00. If you answered B) ever wonder why they're in the showchoir?  Maybe it's because of the life changing experiences, breath-taking tours, or our crazy mohawks... whatever it is, your friend is in this group for a reason, and so should you. We hope you will join us! If you answered C) don't sweat it!  Our amazing professoinals- Michael Berkley - Piano and Vocals, and Mrs. Liz - Choreography, can teach you anything and everything. Trust me. And if you answered D) hopefully by all the stuff I've said so far about the showchoir has given you a clear view about what we're about. Think we're your piece of pie? Join us every Monday for Middle School Rehearsal and every Thursday for High School Rehearsal, both at 4:30 PM in the Sanctuary during the school year and see what we're all about!

Skateboard Group

Every fall we take two separate overnight trips, High School and Middle School, to various skate parks outside of Virginia.  We also take monthly trips to local parks.  Read more...
