Future: Creative or visionary photos that represent the legacy that we hope to continue.

What to Expect at the Retreat
We are often asked this question by first-time attendees. Our typical agenda is as follows:

Friday (Optional)
Guys that arrive early like to gather at Brassies for dinner, which is downstairs from the hotel’s check-in desk. The cost for dinner will be on your own. After dinner, many of the guys like to hang out at the Azalea cabin (an on-site cabin that we have reserved) for fellowship and to watch college basketball tournament games. Most guys like to arrive on Friday to participate in Friday evening fellowship.

Saturday
We start the morning with the hotel’s awesome breakfast buffet. We have our first retreat session starting at 9 am, typically lasting until 11:30. Box lunches will be available immediately after the morning session. Saturday afternoon is set aside for activities (golf, hiking, shotgun shooting, mountain biking or free time). We reconvene around 6 pm for our second retreat session, followed by a delicious prime rib buffet. Fellowship at the Azalea cabin follows dinner. All Saturday meals are included in your registration fee.

Sunday
The morning starts with another round at the hotel’s breakfast buffet (included in your registration fee). We then have our third retreat session, followed by Worship and Communion. The retreat ends before noon, after Worship. 

Should You Need Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is available if needed. Please contact Rev. Ryan Jensen (ryan@roswellpres.org)  for more information regarding financial assistance. We do not want price to be a limiting factor in your decision to attend. Funds are available to assist in the cost if needed.

RPC True North VBS 2025:
Children ages 4 (by June 2, 2025) through 5th grade are invited to join us for a wonderful week of Vacation Bible School. 

VBS will take kids on an unforgettable Alaskan adventure where the northern lights shine over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and sparkling glaciers. As they trek the tundra, they’ll discover how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today.  Guiding them towards Jesus, True North VBS reveals that He is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!. 

Children will learn Bible stories, and participate in fun recreational games, music, and crafts. This event is free! We also need volunteers to help make this week a success.

 Training sessions will be held on the evening of May 29 and the morning of June 1, 2025. Times TBD. Each volunteer must attend one of the two trainings to ensure that everyone is prepared and ready for VBS 2025.

Every volunteer 18 and older must complete a background check. If you have not had a background check completed with Roswell Presbyterian Church (RPC) in the past 3 years, RPC will initiate one on your behalf for you to complete via email. We will initiate the background check a few weeks before VBS 2025 begins. A current RPC background check is mandatory for all volunteers 18 or older.
