Every spring, Grace Students attend UNITE Youth Retreat! This weekend experience is a great time to "unite" with other youth groups as we take steps in our walk of faith. Unite is a powerful experience, full of tons of fun, that no one is going to want to miss! This retreat is for any of our Grace Students in 6th to 12th grade.

This year's theme, REVEAL, is all about discovering God's incredible plan for salvation, and the amazing mission he has given us. Our speaker, Jonny Radcliffe, who spoke at Unite in 2021, will unpack the impact of the Gospel on our lives, and the calling God has placed upon his people to share the Good News with the world.
