Retreat Speaker & Theme
Our retreat speaker will be Pastor Young Kim, who serves as the senior pastor of Grace Covenant Church in Philadelphia, PA. Pastor Young planted Grace Covenant Church in 1996 with a vision to be a multi-ethnic church that will raise kingdom workers for the harvest of the world to the glory of God. God has blessed Pastor Young and his wife Annette with three children in Sarah, Daniel, and Isaiah. “My prayer is that the Holy Spirit may empower me to love Jesus with all my heart, mind, strength and soul and to love others with the love of God.” For more information about the church he pastors please visit: http://ucity.gracecovenant.net/ The retreat theme is yet to be finalized, however we will update when more information becomes available. Please keep the weekend in prayer as we expect God to move in powerful ways.
Accommodations & Amenities
Registration cost includes breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. Please note Friday dinner will not be provided and so attendees are encouraged to either eat or bring dinner on their way in. The kitchen can also prepare allergy-free meals if notified beforehand so please indicate clearly any allergies when registering.
