Know - Curriculum & Retreats
A retreat is intentional time spent away from one's normal life for the purpose of reconnecting with God. Retreats can be powerful ways in which students come to know God through prayer and worship, talks, activities and the community.
Mandatory retreat day for each class: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior & Senior.

The Freshman Retreat theme is community and culture.
