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. 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. For those young adults who already have a relationship with Christ, we seek to help them develop a fuller understanding of what that salvation means and how to lives intimately connect to Jesus.
Weekends feature:
insightful talks
fun group activities
lots of laughs
snacks
great meals together
The R.O.C.K occurs twice each summer once in June and once in July. Each begins on a Friday afternoon and ends on a Sunday evening. Exact dates and times can be found on our 2025 Events tab.

Anyone who has previously attended a R.O.C.K. weekend, participated in a similar retreat weekend, or is actively pursuing a relationship with Christ is welcome to submit an application. Our teams do fill up, and submission of an application does not guarantee a position for the weekend. However, there are many ways to serve, and we would love to hear from you!
There are a number of positions to fill on team each year, all equally important, but that may require different spirtiual gifts or skills. The leaders for each weekend will prayerfully consider where to place each member on the team. We ask that anyone applying to be on team do so with an open heart, willing to serve wholeheartedly in whatever role they are assigned.
