Collegiate and Young Adult Fall Retreat

Come getaway with us at the Cooperative Baptist Student Fellowship (CBSF) Collegiate & Young Adult Retreat!

This weekend is for all young adults—whether you’re in undergrad, grad school, or navigating post grad life. Gather with friends (old and new!) from CBF churches and campuses across the state as we grow in faith, deepen relationships and discover how God is at work in and through us. Our CBFNC campus ministry staff and CBF partners will guide small group conversations that invite reflection, honest questions and spiritual growth. There will also be unstructured time for rest and fun!

Our 2025 theme, You are Called, will encourage students and young adults to reflect on what it means to live into your calling. Calling aligns your life with a deeper sense of purpose and authenticity as you show up in the everyday. It involves the way you lead in your workplace or campus, how you nurture meaningful relationships, and how you respond to the world’s needs with your unique gifts. This retreat will invite students and young adults to listen deeply, discern the ways in which they are called and cultivate the courage to live into their faith.

If you are a representative at a higher education institution, divinity school, or ministry partner and you would like to attend or host a promotional table, contact Caitie Jackson at cjackson@cbfnc.org.

Spring Break Mission Trip

Each year during college spring break week, CBFNC’s collegiate team coordinates mission trip opportunities. College students and young adults are invited to take part in a regional CBSF Spring Break Mission Trip, coordinated by CBFNC’s collegiate team. The group will work in Charleston, SC and stay at a house near the beach. The trip also includes Bible study, worship, fellowship and time on the beach. Cost is $150 per person per week plus travel and sightseeing meal costs.
