Youth Weekend Retreat 2025

Fri, Dec 6- Sun, Dec 8 | Join us for the Youth Weekend Retreat to Laurelville Retreat Center on Dec 6-8!

A weekend retreat is like an evening youth group... but multiplied by 10. Just like youth group, there are fun activities, biblical lessons, and discussion group time. On a weekend retreat, students live life alongside each other for a whole weekend: eating meals, having fun, and worshipping God together.

This weekend at Laurelville is put on by the Pittsburgh Kids Foundation. PKF has a long history of camps and retreat that feature high-energy worship, crazy creative games, and relevant messages focused on the gospel. We will join several other churches from the Pittsburgh area for this weekend.
