program overview

friday. We’ll kick off the retreat with dinner before heading into our first session of worship, a reflection and prayer min. Followed by bonfires and vibes.
saturday. A full day where we will share in worship, short reflections, guided quiet times, free time, adventures, food and of course sweet fellowship. 
sunday. Solid brekkie, more worship, reflections, quiet times and communion all finishing up before lunch. You can spend the afternoon exploring the mountains or heading back home to get your washing done for the week.

accommodation

If you're sleeping on site, you will have a bed allocated to you along with a group of fantastic guys or gals! Gals in gals rooms and guys in guys rooms. You know the drill.

catering

All meals will be provided. We're excited to partner with KCC’s caterer, James Barnes, a qualified pastry chef, who will be preparing some delicious home-cooked meals for us! For those that are asking the coffee question, no doubt, there will be real coffee provided brought to you by some legendary baristas.

theme

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."  Matthew 5:16
In Soul Survivor this year, we are exploring the call for Christians to be people of action - witnessing to others out in a messy world, practicing the love of God while being challenged to keep our eyes fixed on righteousness. Over the retreat we will enjoy the Blue Mountains as a beautiful place to rest, reflect and enjoy taking steps to become more like Jesus. We are looking forward to opening God’s Word, being refreshed by the Holy Spirit and being spurred on to keep growing in our discipleship journey.

In particular, we’ll be inspired by stories of how Jesus, his disciples and early Christians interacted with those they met on the road - inviting them into something greater and loving them along the way. If you’re keen for some pre-reading, check out Mark 1, Luke 10, Acts 8 and Acts 16.

Join us!
