Why We're Gathering Again
Last year's "Open the Gates" Gala was an unforgettable evening of worship, testimony, and celebration — and thanks to the generosity of our friends and partners, we raised over $85,000 in support of Fellowship Christian Retreat's mission!
This November, we're gathering again for the Pumpkins & Presents Gala, and every ticket, sponsorship, auction bid, and gift helps us build on what God started that night.
Funds raised go directly toward facility upkeep and expansion (including our cabins, amphitheater, and boathouse), helping us move forward on a new multipurpose building, supporting the volunteers who serve every guest who visits, and furthering our ministry of bringing people closer to God through places like Koinonia Emmaus.
Thank you to everyone who came out, gave, and believed in this mission with us. We can't wait to celebrate with you on November 14! If you can't make it, you can give anytime through our Donations page.
