Get Ready! Winter Family Weekend 2025 is Coming Soon!

The planning team is hard at work, and this year's theme is "Fueled by Faith!" We're building on the amazing foundation of past years to create our most exciting and well-rounded Winter Family Weekend yet. We've listened to your feedback and are designing a weekend packed with opportunities for Faith, Fellowship, and Fun!

While we finalize the details, get a sneak peek of what's in store and discover how you'll get fueled by taking our new quiz below!

Faith, Fellowship, Fun: Here's What's in Store

This year's weekend is packed with ways to get fueled! While the days are filled with fun and fellowship, the spiritual core of our weekend is designed to deepen your faith and connection with God.

• Fuel Your Faith: The Heart of the Weekend
  The entire weekend is a journey to fuel your faith. Begin your week by diving deep into God's Word with our themed seminar series, including "The Fuel of God's Word" on Wednesday and "Fueled for Life" on Thursday. This all builds toward the centerpiece of our gathering: a full Sabbath dedicated to spiritual rejuvenation. The day begins with a warm fellowship breakfast, followed by two in-depth Sabbath morning seminars and inspiring Sabbath Services, with a sermon from UCG President John Elliott.
• For the Athletes
  Multiple days of action-packed Basketball, Volleyball, and Pickleball tournaments in the state-of-the-art Mill 1 Gymnasium.
• For the Family
  The can't-miss Jelly Live! Show, a Family Carnival with games for all ages, and a full slate of kid's activities, including both a Children's Drop-in Play Area and the structured Preteen P.E. Activity.
• For the Social Connectors
  The return of the high-energy Teen Dance (with a full Ice Cream Sundae Bar!) and an exclusive YA Social & Speakeasy featuring a hosted mocktail bar and a 21+ cash bar with a professional bartender.
