We invite you to join us for Restoration: Renewed Life in the Spirit, a weekend retreat dedicated to restoring your soul, and reclaiming the grace and peace that is yours in Christ.
Join us from April 10th through April 12th as we dive deep into the promises of Scripture, share in heartfelt worship and build lasting friendships!
