Homeschool Retreat – February 5-6, 2026
Discover how ordinary people can do extraordinary things for God! At Heroes of the Faith, campers will dive into the lives of biblical and modern-day heroes whose bold faith changed the world. Be inspired to live your own faith story with courage, purpose, and trust in God’s mighty power.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”
Hebrews 12:1
