Two Year
Ministry Plan

Throughout the month of March, students from Fusion (5th-6th grade), 24Seven (7th-8th grade), and Forge (high school) got to experience retreats at Carolina Point. Over the course of four weekends, over 1,000 students and 600 leaders, staff, and volunteers participated. Along with the usual camp fun and activities, students got to hear biblical teaching and spend time discussing God’s Word in their small groups. Our Fusion students focused on the gospel through their Pivotal teaching series, and 24Seven students learned about Blueprint—God’s design for our energy, dating, and sex. Untethered was the topic for 9th and 10th graders, and they dove into what our lives look like if we are cut off from God’s family. And our 11th and 12th graders heard teaching on Secrets—Jesus’ parables about the Kingdom of Heaven.

If you know a student who attended a retreat, be sure to ask them how God worked in their life through that focused time away. We are so thankful for God’s hand on our students and their leaders, and we hope you will join us in praying for continued life change.

Over the past month, hundreds of Grace students have been at Carolina Point for retreats. Each weekend, a different age group has gotten to hear God’s Word, discuss the teaching in their small groups, experience camp life, and just have fun together.

One facet of retreats that makes all this possible is Work Crew! Families and individuals from different campuses made the trip and gave up their weekend to work behind the scenes. These folks got up early and stayed up late to set tables, wash dishes, keep things clean, and in general help keep the camp running so our students could experience the retreat.

Check out these pics of some families pulling together on Work Crew to minister to our students. This is what church is all about, and we hope you will join us in prayer that students who experienced life change on the retreats would continue growing and changing more into the image of Christ!
