![]() "Coming to college at UIS was an extremely emotional and nerve-racking experience for me because, much like every other college Freshmen, everything I knew had suddenly changed. I was thrown into a pool of people that I barely knew and hardly had anything in common with, which left me feeling extremely lonely. I never expected to gain such personal and Christ-centered relationships at Fall Retreat, but the amazing people I met left me feeling like I finally had a community at school that I could rely on for both my intentional Christ-centered relationships and just basic life events that I could share with others. At fall retreat I not only learned how important it is to build a community of people that can be positive Christ-following influences, but also how important it is for me to be a positive Christ-following influence." - Sophia Richmiller, UIS Freshman (2nd from the right) ![]() "I'm glad I went to CSF Fall Retreat because I was reminded that there is a huge difference between knowing the word of God and actually acting on that knowledge. I also realized that the grace, word and the love of God compel us, it decide our action and my father would always be there for me in time of my needs." Akin Akinkummi, International Student from Nigeria. It's amazing what God can do when we get away. Join us for a weekend of worship, spiritual growth, ridiculous fun, and sticky s'mores.
