Called Retreat
Called Retreat is for Students who feel God has called them to minsitry. Called Retreat is a life changing weekend where student will get to come and hear from leaders and others who have walked the path of Called before them. The price is $100 and includes, lodging, food, a brand new NLT Student Fire Bible, 2 T-shirts, and other resources. You do not want to miss out on this event.
Friday night will begin with a kickoff service, followed by a time of small groups and other activities. Saturday will consist of School Campus training, an opportunity with Convoy of Hope, followed by Called Arts (formerly Fine Arts) in the afternoon.
Called Schools
For those of you that have been a part of Engage the Campus in the past this will look very similar to that. If a student says they are called to ministry then what better mission field is there for students to actively walk out their calling than their school campus. We will be training students on how to step onto their school campus and be the light God has called us to be. For leaders we will be training you on how to come alongside your students and help them walk out their calling.
Called Arts
Called Arts will be held following Called schools and our other Called programming. Students are not required to participate in Called Arts if they don’t want to. But, for the students that do, the $100 fee includes their Called Arts fee and unlimited entries. While students who participate in the Called weekend do not have to participate in Called Arts, students that want to participate in Called Arts must participate in the Called weekend. Example - A student cannot just come to the Called Arts part of the day because they want to do Fine Arts. Please note: There will be a separate paper registration for Called Arts where students will select their categories and write in their entry participants, etc. like they did for Fine Arts in past years. The separate Called Arts registration will be available to download on this page on January 20th.
Convoy of Hope
There will be an opportunity for every church that is represented to leave with tons of resources for your local school campus. We want to set you up to be a blessing to your community and we have a great opportunity to do so. We are encouraging every group that comes to Called retreat to bring an extra church van, or truck and trailer to be able to load up all of the free resources. There will be a Convoy of Hope Tractor Trailer here on Saturday that will be full of resources for you. Along with that there will be a Convoy of Hope representative here for a training session as well.
Called Leaders
For the leaders that come the price for the weekend is $40, this goes to pay for the price of lodging and food. We are asking that the churches that send students to Called Retreat would send at least one leader (preferably their Youth Pastor) to the retreat with them. We will be helping give leaders ideas in the leader sessions on how to successfully run a year long called program at your church. We will also be doing leadership training on Engaging the Campus and how to use Called Arts as a discipleship program.
If you want a T- Shirt you must be registered by no later than March 1st.
The permission slip and the Parental release for Convoy of Hope must be filled out and brought with the student when they come to Called Retreat .
Leader cost is $40 (covers room and food)
Leaders must also bring the Assumption of Risk form with them to Called Retreat
