September 11-13 | Camp Au Sable
Fall Retreat
Fall Retreat is a free weekend at Camp Au Sable for public university students, combining spiritual growth, fun activities, and meaningful connections. Connect with your ACF group and students from universities across Michigan.
This year, speaker Levi Longoria will explore the theme “Battle Ready,” with a special focus on spiritual warfare—how to recognize the unseen battles around us and be prepared to stand firm.
Our theme text is Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
