“…for God who has promised is faithful
– Hebrews 10:23

The annual CBFNC Fall Youth Beach Retreat returns to Fort Caswell in Oak Island the weekend of October 25-27, 2024. All CBFNC partner churches are invited to bring your youth (grades 6-12) for a weekend filled with worship, Bible study, dance party and lots of free time to play on the beach!

This year’s theme is “Hold On” using Hebrews 10:19-25 as our guiding verse for the weekend to help young people HOLD ON to their identity in Christ, for God who has promised is faithful. The retreat will encourage students to explore what it means to HOLD ON to God, to oneself and to others, and as we claim these things we become more fully the body of Christ in the world.
