2026 Church Retreat | Below the Surface

We live in a world addicted to speed — scrolling past, rushing through, skimming the surface of everything and everyone around us. But Christ has never been interested in shallow. He wades into the mess of real life and invites us further in — deeper into His word, deeper into the whisper of His Spirit, deeper into the kind of relationships that actually hold you when life gets hard. This weekend isn't an escape from the world. It's an invitation to stop running along the surface and let yourself sink into something real.

Join us for our third annual Church Retreat at beautiful Pines Bible Camp, located just 2.5 hours from Kelowna in Grand Forks, BC. This retreat weekend is designed to help us slow down, deepen relationships, and make space for God together. Across the weekend, we’ll share in powerful worship, meaningful teaching, great food, fun games, and plenty of time to relax by the river. Whether you’re coming with longtime friends, your family, or hoping to meet new people in our community, this is one of the most special weekends in the life of our church.

Both cabin accommodations and RV camping sites are available, and all meals, snacks, and activities are included in the cost of registration, making it easy to simply arrive and enjoy the weekend.

This year, we are especially excited to welcome Pastor Jeremy Crowe as our guest speaker. This will be a wonderful opportunity to hear from Jeremy, spend time with him and his family, and lean into a weekend of thoughtful, themed teaching that we believe will encourage and strengthen our church.

Whether this is your first retreat or your third, we would love for you to be part of it. This weekend is for everyone; Young adults, youth, seniors and families.

Spots are limited, so be sure to register early to secure your place.
Come away with us for a weekend you won’t want to miss.
