2026 ALL-CHURCH RETREAT
The purpose of the All-church Retreat (ACR) is to provide us with an opportunity to step away from our regular routines so that we may connect more deeply with the Lord, and each other. It’s an event like none other! You’ll get to worship, learn, rest, play, and engage with all ages in our church community.
