Fusion Weekend

February 14th - 16th, 2025

FUSION is an in town weekend retreat for 7th-12th grade students in the homes of trusted church members who have gone through a background check and ministry safe training.

The idea behind FUSION weekend is to gather teenagers in their own environment, create community by strengthening friendships through shared experiences, and mature them spiritually through focused discipleship.  Students get steady exposure to God's Word, interacting with it in various ways.  The nonstop time together encourages teenagers to open up, getting "real" with each other and trusted adult leaders over the course of the weekend.  
Today's world often views loss as a setback to personal success, comfort, or self-fulfillment, emphasizing individual gain over sacrificial living for the benefit of others and the glory of God.  In Philippians 3:8-10, the Apostle Paul reflects on the idea of "taking a loss" as willingly giving up worldly gains, status, or achievements for the surpassing value of knowing Christ. Scripture calls believers to view such losses not as failures but as a pathway to spiritual growth, righteousness, and deeper fellowship with Christ, even in suffering.

Speaker: Travis Dice
