Grace Students Fall Retreat
October 9-11, 2026 // NorthBay Adventure Camp
Jesus LOVES You
Grace Students! It’s almost time — the moment you’ve been waiting for all year — it’s the 2026 Grace Students Fall Retreat, “Jesus LOVES you”! We’ll be back at NorthBay Adventure Camp. We can’t wait to see what God has in store for you during this exciting weekend! Make sure to register ASAP – there’s a discount for registering early!
It’s one of the simplest and most foundational truths of the Christian faith. But from unbelief to doubts and hard seasons to busy schedules, those three words can begin to lose their weight to us. They become familiar. Easy to overlook. Sometimes they feel too good to be true.
This fall retreat, we’re stepping away from the noise to sit with every word:
Jesus. Loves. You.
Some of us need to remember it.
Some of us need to hear it for the very first time.
All of us need to believe it.
Applications open now!

Book Suggestions

A Little Pot of Oil
by Jill Briscoe
A time comes when we just don’t have anything left over to give. We run out of faith, energy, strength, patience, options, peace, joy, ideas, and even love. So when God’s call comes knocking and our resources seem thin, we tend to hole up and hide from the needs of others. But that’s exactly when God’s greatest blessing is within a single step, according to Jill Briscoe. He’s asking us to obey, senseless as it may seem.

Crazy Love
by Francis Chan
Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts—it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Don't Waste Your Life
by John Piper
The American Dream beckons people to spend their lives on trivial diversions, slipping through life caught up with seeking success, comfort, and pleasure above all else. But God designed people for far more than this.

What's So Amazing About Grace?
by Philip Yancey
In What’s So Amazing About Grace? award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God’s love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy?

Radiant
by Priscilla Shirer
The culture will try to define you, but this world is starving for something different that comes only from the creative genius of your God. You were created to reflect His light. . . . You were created to be radiant.
