THE GATHERING
The Gathering is a weekend retreat for students hosted by First Students of FBC Jasper at Pineywoods Camp from April 10–12.
This overnight experience is designed to help students step away from the distractions of everyday life and focus on what truly matters. Throughout the weekend, students will experience powerful worship, hear from multiple guest speakers, participate in high-energy games, and build meaningful relationships with friends and leaders.
Our prayer for this weekend is that the next generation of the Church in Jasper and Brookeland would come together, grow in their relationship with Christ, and return home ready to live it out and share it with others.
What is it?
Transportation will be provided by the church.
❋ How will students get there?
❋ Are meals provided?
Yes. All meals are provided during the weekend.
The cost is $100 for registration. There is an optional $10 add-on for the zip line. If cost is a concern, please reach out. We will work with you to make sure your student can attend. We will not turn a student away because of cost.
❋ What is the cost?
For students to gather, grow in their relationship with Christ, and go home ready to share it with others.
