Encounter Youth Retreat
November 20–22, 2026
Epworth By The Sea | St. Simons Island, Georgia
For students in 6th–12th grade
Join TNBW Youth for a weekend of worship, Bible study, fun, and friendship in beautiful coastal Georgia! Encounter gives students an opportunity to grow closer to God, connect with other teens, and build lasting friendships.
This year’s theme, “Masterpiece,” based on Ephesians 2:10, focuses on who God created us to be and the good things He has planned for us.
What to Expect
The weekend includes worship gatherings, morning devotions, small group conversations, a cookout under the oaks, afternoon free time, and an open mic coffee house.
Meals, cabin lodging, a T-shirt, and retreat programming are included. Students will stay in shared cabins with adult chaperones and must bring their own bedding and linens. Travel details and a packing list will be shared before the retreat.
Cost and Registration
$150 per student | $100 for each additional sibling
Register by Sunday, October 11, 2026. Please complete a separate registration form for each student attending.
