Carpe Diem

What's Carpe Diem? Every year we gather together as a ministry to talk about what it means to put Christ first in our lives. At this retreat, you’ll experience great moments of worship through singing, challenging messages, and faith-building workshops taught by other students. Carpe Diem is also a great place to get connected in the Student Nation, to make new friends, and to take your existing relationships to the next level. This is a place for Christ-followers to grow spiritually with God and others. What's awesome this year? Intense worship by We Are One band. Awesome messages from the annointed Pastor Dave Krist. Crazy large group team games like Archery Tag, Strobelight Dodgeball, 9-Square-In-The-Air, Broomball on Ice, Snowthrow Smackdown, and some so insane we're keeping them secret! A great time to get away and focus 2014 on the things that really matter. Intimate small group times led by great Youth Workers. Now 3 days and 2 nights at Michindoh for the same price! We're ending the trip at the WinterJam concert at the Joe Louis Arena. Featuring Lecrae, Newsboys, and Tenth Avenue North this rad concert is included in admission.
