Unbound Day Retreat

UNBOUND Ministry

Fri. Aug. 29, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm

Join us for this transformative event as we reflect on the deep freedom that Jesus offers us by restoring our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

As children of a loving God, we were created to live in intimate relationship with Him. However, sin has broken this connection, leaving us bound by lies and chains of fear, anxiety, hopelessness, and shame.

But here's the Good News: Jesus has brought salvation and liberation! Through His sacrifice, we can be set free from the bondage of sin. Yet, even as believers, we sometimes find ourselves still struggling with anxiety, fear, guilt, and hopelessness.

That's where Unbound comes in. During the Unbound: Freedom in Christ Day Retreat, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. We will explore the depths of our hearts, identify areas of bondage, and learn how to surrender them to God's healing and transforming power.

Through teachings, reflections, and practical exercises, we will learn how to repent, place our faith in God, extend forgiveness, renounce lies, embrace our authority as children of God, and receive the Father's blessing that brings restoration and wholeness.
