God meets us in a powerful way when we get away as a community to seek Him. During Mother’s Day weekend in May, our Shasta Retreat features rugged outdoor settings for our meetings, accommodations on houseboats from a local resort, water-sports on boats and jet skis, powerful worship and teaching times, and opportunities to form amazing friendships. The speakers and theme change from year-to- year to keep things fresh, but the outcome is always the same: lives are changed, friends are made, and students grow in their relationship with Jesus. Join us on the shores of Shasta!

Free Time, Games, & Meals
There’s plenty of time for activity and adventure during free time between sessions. Go on a hike, wakeboard, ride a jet-ski or take a kayak trip: it’ s usually in the mid-80’s. You will also enjoy participating in games before the sessions. Cabin groups enjoy meals together made from the food we stock in the houseboat for you.
Cabins & Cabin Times
For your accommodations, you will be grouped with a cabin of 16 people on a houseboat with guys and girls separate. The cabin groups provide a way to connect at a deeper level, process life lessons you’re learning, and pray together. Don’t worry, everyone will have a comfortable bed! For the more granola types, camping and hammocking on the shore is also an option.
