Join us for a Confirmation Retreat this Spring! We still have some spots available!

Here's what one leader said: "We're a small church without a traditional 'youth group' and so the programming provided by the Hinton Rural Center for Theotokos Confirmation was perfect for us to have our few young people have a meaningful Confirmation retreat that contained both their small church experience and the excitement and programming benefits of being with a larger group. We couldn't have asked for more from the programming, fellowship, and setting that was provided for us." -- Rev. Todd Noren-Hentz, Wedowee First UMC, North Alabama Conference Learn more at www.hintontheotokos.org
