Well, we just finished our first Living in Christ Retreat, exploring the topic, Water in the Rock. What an exciting weekend with a truly outstanding group of women, both campers and staff!
Arriving early Friday to prepare, our staff car encountered a sizeable herd of llamas and goats descending the mountain as we traveled up. Patti warned, "Llamas have been known to attack!" So, we immediately stopped the car until the herd, now known as the llama stampede, moved past us and we were able to proceed to the cabin. Never a dull moment in the lives of the Living in Christ Retreats staff!
True to God's faithfulness, we were met throughout the weekend by His Spirit, led in worship by Tamara (and Gail) and in study of Water in the Rock, from His Word. Kathi cooked and served some outstanding meals, coffee and delicious deserts. We also ate lunch in Boone on Saturday, squeezing in a trip to the local Christian Bookstore - all of which was an adventure and fun! The highlight of the weekend, however, besides experiencing the goodness of Christ, was in making new friends and reconnecting with old ones... Patti, Bea, Gail, Connie, Debbie, Donna, Judy and Lynn. Thanks to everyone for making our first retreat so very special and for your gracious acceptance of the necessary learning curve we must humbly embrace. God bless you all!

Welcome!
We invite you to join us for a weekend of fellowship, fun and Biblical studies. Our retreats are held in a quaint log cabin nestled in the mountains of Watuga County, 10 minutes from Boone, North Carolina.
All studies are conducted by gifted teachers who prepare to engage and refresh you with God's Word. For individual backgrounds, you can check out our website at livinginchristretreats.com.

Opportunity
Treat yourself and friends to a weekend in the Word. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God (Col. 3:16).
Capacity
To book a weekend, a group must consist of 8-10 participants that can either be entirely from one Church or a combination of indivduals.
Does it have to end?
Prayer
Prayer is a vital and integral part of every weekend retreat in the preparation, presentation and participation of these events. Living in Christ Retreats will centralize walking by the Spirit of Christ in obedience to the will and Word of God...for the glory of God!

Statement of Faith
God is the Creator of the universe, comprised of a united Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, begat by the Spirit and born of a virgin. Submitting to the Father's will, Jesus gave His life as the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world. In faith we receive this magnificent redemptive sacrifice by repenting from our sins and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us back into the image of God, our original state before sin (Gen. 1-2). The Holy Spirit is described by Christ Himself as a river of living water (Jn. 7:38). Besides His work of fulfilling and refreshing us, the ministry of the Spirit is one of conviction and giving of spiritual gifts as He determines for the common good (1 Cor. 12:7-11). Salvation and Christian living in the grace of the faith are evidenced by a lifestyle of repentance, love and committment to God the Father and His Son in the Kingdom of God.
