Middle School Retreat: A Weekend of Growth
What a weekend at Fort Caswell! Sixteen students in grades 6–8 joined us for Middle School Fall Retreat, where we spent time worshiping, studying God’s Word, and hearing messages about identity and relationships through the lens of God’s design. We are especially excited to celebrate that 10 students made a commitment or recommitted their lives to Jesus! We are so thankful for the work God is doing in the hearts of our students and can’t wait to see how He continues to grow their faith!

Serving with Purpose:
Our Kentucky Mission Trip
Our team traveled to Kentucky to serve alongside Olive Branch Ministries, helping pack Christmas shoeboxes for children and families in some of the poorest counties in America. Each box is filled with gifts and practical items, but it also carries a message of hope and the love of Jesus. We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve, share Christ’s love, and be part of bringing joy to children this Christmas!
The boxes reach children, teens, seniors, and families throughout Appalachia, often providing gifts and necessities that go to one of the most impoverished areas in the US.
