About YQ Retreat

All youth in grades 9-12 are invited to our Youth Quake Senior High Retreat! At YQ Senior High, we want to dive into solid Biblical teaching, grow in our faith, and connect deeper to what God's doing in our lives!

In our main sessions, we will have intentional small-group times and seminars to help you wrestle with the difficult questions of faith and the Bible. Stay with your leaders and friends in the Briercrest dorms, eat in our dining hall, and check out all of the fantastic activities we have planned! We're talking concerts, sports tournaments, paintball, and so much more!

For years, Nathan has prayed for students who would (1) fall in love with Jesus, (2) pass their faith onto others, and (3) inspire those younger than them to do the same. It's why he loves his role as the Pastor of Next Gen & Prayer at Central Heights Church in Abbotsford, BC. Nathan and his wife, Sarah, are new parents after the birth of their daughter. While he waits for a generational shift toward Christ, Nathan likes reading, watching the Buffalo Bills, and imagining he was better at basketball than he actually was.

 

 

 

 

 

Growing up on the outskirts of Boston, gio was immersed in gospel music and poetry from a young age. Influenced by artists like TobyMac and Andy Mineo, he began writing his own music, which eventually led him to share his work with the world. gio aims to bring a fresh, modern perspective to Christian music, blending the intensity of pop and hip-hop sounds. He wants his audience to feel understood in their walk with God and to know they are never alone. With a belief in the importance of creativity in the Christian music scene, gio refuses to place limitations on his art. He aspires to inspire the next generation to embrace their God-given gifts and create
freely.

 

 

 

 

 

Emerging from the vibrant college town of Isla Vista, CA, Isla Vista Worship is a collective of musicians and artists who blend a variety of sounds and genres to create songs that are both creative and heartfelt. Driven by a commitment to authenticity and creativity, Isla Vista Worship produces everything from live worship sessions to studio albums, all within their church community. Since 2011, they’ve been committed to release their sound and have watched it spread across the globe, reverberating the love of God unto the ends of the earth.
