Big 4: Identity. Purpose. Belonging. Living Our Why.

As we journey through life, four questions rise above the rest.

  • Who am I?
  • Why am I here?
  • Where do I belong?
  • Why does it matter?

At NIC Fall Youth Retreat 2024, we want to dig deep into these questions! Our guest speaker Rev. Caleb Hong, Pastor of Christ UMC in Rockford, will guide us through these fundamental questions of life. We are so excited for you to join us for a weekend of worship, fellowship, rest and growing in faith!
