FAQ
What is it?
The R.O.C.K. weekend (Reaching Out to Christ's Kids) is a two-day summer retreat intended to give youth a solid foundation of understanding and truth on which to develop or further a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
All teaching is based on the Bible as God's Word, and the team strives to demonstrate both God's love and our own, hoping that anybody who has not put his or her faith in God will recognize, understand, and accept God's gift of salvation from sin, and that anybody who already has will come to more fully understand what that salvation means.
Weekends feature:
insightful talks
fun group activities
lots of laughs
