Fuel Up!

FUEL is a fall retreat connected with the Gulf Coast Area Wides, which involves youth groups from lower Mississippi, lower Alabama, and the panhandle of Florida.

It’s a weekend retreat for 6th-12th grade teens, and incorporates elements of camp and a youth conference. The weekend begins on Friday night with a worship service and activities. Saturday morning is spent pouring into God’s Word through different types of classes and panel discussions. The afternoon allows teens to build relationships with one another through the different amenities GCBC offers.

Saturday evening offers another amazing worship experience, more activities, and ends with a late night worship around the camp fire. The weekend culminates on Sunday morning with one final worship service. FUEL is a perfect opportunity to surround yourself with like-minded friends, dynamic worship, and the greatest Christian camp in the south!
