HIgh School: November 21 – 23
Axis Fall Retreat is a jam-packed weekend designed to help students step away from the noise of everyday life and encounter God in a fresh and powerful way.
The weekend includes:
• Powerful worship services
• Small group time with cabins
• Fun recreational activities
• Great meals together
• Unforgettable memories with friends
We kick things off Friday night with an impactful service followed by a bonfire after-party. Saturday is full of services, rec time and practical sessions on living for God. On Sunday, students will attend services at their Life Church location before heading home.
Every year, we hear story after story of students whose lives are changed at Fall Retreat. This year will be no exception—and we want your student to be a part of it!
WHY WE RETREAT
Yes, we have fun, but more importantly, we create space for students to encounter God without distractions. To take this to another level, Fall Retreat 2025 will be a phone-free weekend.
Students will either:
• Leave phones at home OR
• Turn them in at check-in Friday night (returned on Sunday before buses depart)
This short break from social media and constant notifications allows students to fully focus on what God wants to do. Parents will receive on-site pastor contact info for emergencies.
