Retreats are more than just time away from campus, they are lasting experiences that help students get to know themselves, others, and God. Through personal reflection time and group discussions retreats seek to help them grow in discovering their own gifts and deepening their spirituality.

Lynne Payne Beginnings strives to help students adapt to college life, make necessary changes, discover their gifts, and ultimately use these gifts as men and women for others.
Beginnings is an overnight retreat for freshmen men and women.
It is held at the start of the fall semester in an effort to help new students feel welcome. By spending time with fellow classmates and a team of upperclassmen, first year students experience a sense of belonging and feelings of loneliness are overcome. The Beginnings Retreat serves as a viable tool for transition from high school to college life. This is all done through sharing, fun, and prayer. Jesus Experience Retreat Spend the weekend strengthening your spiritual relationship with Jesus as well as your friends through application of Scripture to your everyday life.
