🍂 Fall Retreat ’25 // GATHER 🍂

What a weekend we had last weekend! We dug into what it really means to gather—
✨ We gather out of necessity.
✨ We gather to support.
✨ We gather to strengthen.

Our students worshiped, grew, connected, and experienced God in such real ways.
Hearts full!!! Community stronger!!! Can’t wait for next year! 🙌🔥

Another Speaker drop!!!

🚨SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT: KELVIN CROSBY!! 🥳 Kelvin's life has been a remarkable journey shaped by the challenges of Usher Syndrome, which has robbed him of both hearing and sight. As these senses diminished, so did his sense of hope, leading him down a dark path filled with despair. At times, the thought of ending it all seemed like a viable escape. But just when he was about to give up, Kelvin found a glimmer of hope in his faith in Jesus Christ. ♥✝ This hope became his lifeline, guiding him away from the abyss and encouraging him to embrace joy in every moment. By transforming his suffering into a source of strength, Kelvin not only reclaims his life but also inspires countless others to find their own joy and purpose, no matter the obstacles they face. ✨🫂 ALSO, Kelvin was a participant at NYC 2003 in Houston. 🤩We are thrilled to have Kelvin with us in Salt Lake City next year!!
