Here you will find information on CROSSING PATHS, the Spring Youth (grades 6-12) Retreat to be held at Jackson’s Mill in Weston on April 12-14, 2024.

Each of us is on a journey, and our paths often cross. This retreat will focus on the journeys that each of us is on and how God helps and guides us as we journey together, looking at the biblical stories of Joseph, David, and Jesus. In addition, there will be times for worship, recreation, and meals.

The retreat will be led by Rev. Joseph Jumper, who is a graduate of Presbyterian College and Columbia Theological Seminary. Originally from Myrtle Beach, SC, Joseph was ordained in September 2023 and serves as a Resident Pastor at Myers Park Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, NC. Joseph and his wife Emily were married in April of 2023 and currently have a dog and a cat.

There is a registration form that you can mail in with a check to Spring Youth Retreat, Presbytery of WV, PO Box 11720, Charleston, WV 25339, or there is an online registration form that you can pay with Paypal or a credit/debit card.
