Young Adults | Retreat 2026 - The Grainery Church

Get ready for another epic retreat!

We look forward to retreat all year. This is our chance to get away, spend time in community, meet new friends, spend time with God, eat delicious food and relax and have fun!

“The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” Ezekiel 37

Sometime we find ourselves in the valley of dry bones — pressed up against a wall. This year we want to discover how God leads us from barren places into fertile soil, from dead ends into new paths of life. We want to explore what it means to become resilient disciples: men and women who, when faced with dryness, disappointment, doubt, or delay, can lean into foundational spiritual practices and discover that God was faithful, all along, to meet us in the valley and bloom fresh life into what was dead.

What to expect?
With cabins situated on the cliff looking out onto the beach, there will be plenty of time to enjoy the surf, time to relax in cabins or take advantage of the beautiful surroundings during a nature hike. There is a pool and spa available to use as well as a basketball court, mini-putt and chill space in the rec hall.

There will be an opportunity for baptisms, so if that is something you have on your heart, come talk with us to see if this might be the right time for you.

We are looking forward to having you join us!
