Spring Antioch Retreat

The only thing I knew about the retreat before I came was that I needed to bring a block of cheese, a 2 liter of soda, and jeans. Needless to say, it was so much more than that!

Before Antioch, I thought Disney was the only place it was socially acceptable to randomly break out in song and dance.

If you want a place to grow in Christ, Antioch is the place to be. Without it I wouldn't be who I am today. Antioch is a place where I can be myself and everyone loves you for you. Antioch is a great place to be and they are like another family to me!! If you think about going, do it. You won't regret it!!

Antioch has helped me not just find Christ, it's helped me to actually want that as well. I've met a family here, and I grow in my faith and love of God through my love for everyone there.

Antioch is the best thing that ever happened to me (besides my family). My first retreat brought me back to God's grace and love when I had ran so far from it. Each subsequent retreat has served to build me up as well. They have helped me to continue to fight the good fight, and that is because of the Antioch family. We love God and each other and we are not afraid to show it! We encourage one another to be who we are and to be the best that we can be! And people laugh at my ridiculously lame puns; what more could I ask?

You will not regret coming to Antioch! Not only is the retreat great for meeting new friends, it helps you build a better relationship with God. My Antioch family means a lot to me and I know. Without Antioch, I don't know where I would be now in life or my faith.

Antioch is my absolute favorite place to be. There's awesome food, awesome people, and an awesome God!!! Every time I go, I grow closer to my Antioch family and to God, and I find out more about myself that I couldn't have discovered anywhere else. I have never felt more accepted or loved in any other place. Antioch helps me share my love of God with others and get the fuel of fortitude that I need to face the big, bad world of my everyday life. If you want to go, do it. If you don't want to go, go anyway.

Antioch is an amazing blessing and I love getting to spend a lot of time with my friends, who I can now call my Antioch family!

Antioch has changed my life, from my first retreat. If I had not gone to Antioch I would not be the man I am today, Antioch is truly the place to grow in Christ, it is also the bomb.
