The Winter Retreat is a spiritually impacting weekend for High School students and leaders of Calvary Student Ministries! The Winter Retreat will take place at North Bay Adventure Camp in North East, MD. This event is a stake-in-the-ground moment for our students as they pursue their walk with God. We are so excited for High School students to have a weekend away to grow deeper in their relationship with God and grow together with one another as we pursue our life in Christ.

The message of "Stand Firm," inspired by 1 Peter 5:12, calls us to an unwavering faith and resilience. As we study the true grace of God, we are reminded of the importance of standing firm in our beliefs and values. Through life's trials and tribulations, we are encouraged to remain steadfast, drawing strength from the unchanging love and grace of God, and to support one another as we stand firm together as we pursue life in Christ.
