7th and 8th graders, join us from November 6-8, 2026 for a weekend you won’t forget!
The Fall Retreat is an intentional opportunity to experience Jesus in community. This year, our theme is centered around the gospel: understanding it, embracing it, and being equipped to share it with our world.

Speaker
Sean Coffey
Sean has been married to Kathy since 1988—they were high school sweethearts! In God’s timing, He blessed them with five beautiful children and two beautiful grandchildren to love and spoil. Sean came to Christ at the age of 15, when God rescued him from the clutches of the enemy. While serving in the United States Air Force, he and his wife surrendered to full time ministry at a missions conference in Germany.
The Coffeys have been involved in ministry for more than 20 years. Sean pastored for 16 of those years and then followed God’s call to missions, joining Churches in Missions (CiM) in January 2015. Sean has had the privilege of serving God on short-term mission trips in many countries. He has a passion for taking the local church to a hurting and confused world and be the hands and feet of Christ. Together, Sean and Kathy love to lead mission teams, reach out to pastors and their wives, fill the pulpit, and encourage believers through CiM.
Merch
A hooded sweatshirt is included with each registration. In addition to the hoodie, students also have the option to purchase a t-shirt at-cost. Both will be distributed the week of the retreat.
Invite a Friend!
We challenge our students to be friends who bring their friends to Jesus. We would love to extend that invitation to parents as well! Who in your circle of influence has 7th or 8th grade students who could be invited to experience Jesus and community at our fall retreat?
Frequently Asked Questions
We believe that a weekend away from the regular rhythms of life creates an environment for spiritual life change. Our hope is that students take a meaningful step in their walk with Jesus, connect with our small-group leaders, and develop lasting friendships.
