Upcoming Events
Winter is here, and that means it’s time for our 2026 high school ministry retreat to Seven Springs Resort for fun, fellowship, and Bible study!
The dates of the retreat are Saturday, February 14th – Monday the 16th. PLEASE NOTE, similar to last year we will leave on Saturday and come back on Monday. We plan to meet at OBF at 9AM on the 14th to load the vehicles and hit the road! We’ll stop for lunch around Columbus, then proceed to the rental home about 10-15 minutes away from the resort. On the return trip, we will be eating lunch on the road and arriving back at the church around 5PM. Early bird pricing for this retreat goes through January 31st and will be $250. After that date, the price will increase to $275. This price includes skis, lodging, and food, with the exception of lunch on the drives to and from the retreat. Students will need to bring additional spending money for those lunches, and additional spending money if they plan to do other activities at the resort (mini golf, arcade, snacks, bowling, etc). NOTE: the resort is now completely cashless so purchases there will need to be via debit/credit card.
There are scholarships available to cover any costs needed for students. Please let me know if cost is a factor and we will ensure that your student(s) are able to come on this retreat!
OBF middle schoolers are heading to Camp Cedarmore in Kentucky for their 2026 summer trip! The camp dates are Saturday May 30th- Wednesday June 3rd. Students will be able to do fun activities like zip-lining, archery tag and aquatic elements on the camp’s lake! Cost will be $350 per camper. Sign-ups will be available early 2026.
