Early Registration ends May 24 | Regular Registration ends June 14
Welcome to this year's Summer Retreat! We're excited for a weekend of fun, fellowship, and growth. We are returning to the beautiful campus of Pepperdine University, and this year, the Mandarin congregation will also have their retreat there at the same time. We will have separate programs, but it's be fun seeing them over the weekend and at meals.
This year, we have expanded options: 1) Housing in dorms or apartments, and 2) Stays for 1, 2, or 3 days.

She loves to share God's Word and serve at her home church, Mariners Church in Irvine.
