At the start of every New Year, Summit Student Ministries goes away for a long weekend for intentional discipleship training. This retreat away from home has become known as GO/LOVE. With an emphasis on passionately pursuing God and growing relationally with their peers, the students who attended GO/LOVE this year were challenged to live out a life that glorifies God.

You might not think two nights away from home would be enough time for a teenager to be affected and moved to live a gospel-centered life. However, many of the 100 students who attended, caught the vision and left GO/LOVE excited to share with their friends and family all that God had taught them. In fact, several students returned to their schools and shared with their friends what God had said to them that weekend, and invited them to start going to SSM with them on a regular basis.
GO/LOVE has become an exciting retreat that the students look forward to each and every year. It’s a time where our middle and high school students can get away and unplug and really seek the Father and His desire for their lives. Not only does each student come away from GO/LOVE excited, but every leader who attends always leaves saying, “I’m tired, but that was awesome.” GO/LOVE is one of those trips that comes and goes in the blink of an eye, but it stays with you for a lifetime. All the preparation, planning and prayer that goes into GO/LOVE is always worth it when we see teenagers go to a new level in their faith and in their love of Jesus.
