Discovery Weekends

Don't we all want...

Don't we all want to be "seen," to be heard and fully known? And yet, the prospect of that is what we sometimes fear the most. In this age of social media, the tendency to compare ourselves to others is at an all time high. Everyone seems to put their life on display in the digital world, but the life they exhibit is often missing one thing... real vulnerability...the place of true freedom. So what if there was a place that was safe to test the waters of vulnerability and find this "freedom"? It’s been said that vulnerability is the best measure of courage. That's where this all comes full circle. Courage is the willingness to show up and allow ourselves the freedom to be fully seen and fully known. So, it stands to reason, that to exercise courage we must be willing to be vulnerable. What does that have to do with Discovery Weekends?

Discovery Weekends is that safe place! We have so many people that walk away from their Discovery Weekend experience saying, "Wow, I'm not the only one who 's felt that way or had to deal with that issue?!" What a powerful realization! We are not alone! And it's that realization that opens the door to a life of freedom and healing.

That's what make Discovery Weekends such a special opportunity. Our Teams simply provide an atmosphere where courage and vulnerability exist; more importantly, a safe place for you to meet The Father...your "Abba"...to see yourself through His eyes. And in His gaze, you will come to the realization that there's only One opinion that matters...and that's when the magic happens! Welcome to true freedom!

Discovery Weekend is not just another men's or women's conference.

"I have been to many retreats but this one is by far the best. We were given the opportunity
and encouraged to really share and get serious about our relationship with Jesus."
- Naomi M.

Discovery is a catalyst to propel and deepen your relationship with God.

Participants frequently share that they finally realized they weren't the only ones who struggle.

49 participants -  You will share your journey at a table of no more than 7 participants, where confidentiality is of utmost importance. This intimate table setting allows you to have a unique and individual experience while also being part of a larger group.

5 Stories - Personal, challenging, and inspirational stories shared by our Team will help everyone realize that they aren't the only one who struggles.

1 Team - Their sold-out purpose is to serve you so that you can experience the love of God.

Challenging Teachings  - Biblically driven talks built to encourage depth in your faith, understanding, and help you see your identity as HIS son or daughter.

Engaging Worship - We will go beyond just singing the words of a song and truly enter His presence.

What can you expect?

You might say, "I've attended a "weekend-style" retreat before."

We would ask... when is it not a good thing to set aside 36 hours to

intentionally focus on your relationship with God?

"We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness"
- Francis Chan

Who Should Attend?

If you don't know God...

This is a great experience for those who have never encountered God before. They know of Him, but don't know Him. Maybe they are curious. Maybe they have doubts. Maybe they believe their unbelief is truer and more solid than an unseen God.

Do you feel stuck in your circumstances?

Discovery is a safe place where no one will push or convince a decision or a change of heart. If you are running from pain and shame, trying to convince yourself that those things no longer have any hold on you. It's the place for you. A safe place to connect with your heart and pursue the Love of a God that can change everything.

Are you hungry for more?

If you have a strong relationship with God, Discovery is also the place for you! Imagine 36 uninterrupted hours to focus on your heart and connect with the Lover of your soul.
