Who will my student room with during the retreat?
Students will room with their small group and small group leader. There will be four small groups, each gender specific,7th-9th grade and 10th-12th grade.
Who will be there?
In addition to four spectacular small group leaders, we will have a worship band that will consist of college students from LSU and ULL. Our retreat pastor for the weekend is Brandon Allen. Many of our students met him at YEC last year. Brandon was the Emcee for the event. He is a youth pastor in Mississippi, always looking for another reason to come back to Louisiana.
Will it be fun?
I’ve heard it said that youth ministry is regular church with games and pizza. So YES!!! We have all kinds of fun activities planned, as well as some free time so they can explore ABC’s amenities and hang our with their friends. On a serious note, this weekend is all about discipleship. It is our goal to go deeper while we are away.
If you have any questions at all, please contact Jeremy Babb.
