    Our middle school teens have an opportunity to serve each year on a mission trip.  6th grade students can serve locally throughout the year while 7th and 8th graders often travel domestically for a weeklong trip.

  • 8th grade retreat


    Held each spring, this retreat is designed 8th graders to experience their faith in a unique and powerful way. They will encounter Christ through engaging talks, praise and worship, small group discussions and adoration. This retreat prepares them for Life Teen, our high school faith formation program. 


    Confirmation Retreat  Dates: 

    • October 4-5
    • January 24-25

    Registration will open in the fall. 

  • Summer camp

    At summer camps, you can expect praise and worship, talks, small groups, prayer and sacramental opportunities, a ropes course, an obstacle course, messy games and so much more. It's essentially a week-long  encounter with Jesus and your friends in the North Georgia mountains. 


    Registration will open in the spring!
