Saint Paul’s Koinonia (SPK) Retreat
This retreat is so popular that it is offered twice a year! Koinonia is a Greek word for community which is what this weekend is all about; a chance to meet other students and grow in a faith-filled environment. Because of its popularity, the maximum number of spaces fill up fast. The fall retreat is October 16th-18th. The spots filled up in 2 minutes!
Silent Retreats
In order to truly retreat, one must leave their life behind in order to walk towards God. The men’s and women’s silent retreats are great opportunities for students to quiet their hearts and minds, retreat from the noise and distractions of our lives, and hear God’s voice. These retreats offer a chance for silence, stillness, and a rejuvenation of spirit.
Winter Retreat
Join us for our largest retreat of the year in Green Lake, WI. Come hear amazing speakers, meet new friends, and grow in a deeper relationship with Christ. We’ll be joined by Damascus missionaries again this year who will be helping us encounter the Holy Spirit throughout the weekend.
