I just wanted to provide some information about the 2023 Youth Retreat at PFBC! The retreat will be held in Sevierville. We will leave after PFBC’s morning Worship Hour on 2/12. We will return in the afternoon on 2/14. The retreat will include intentional Bible Study time, a Super Bowl Watch Party, a trip to Ober Mountain Ski Resort and wonderful fellowship with friends.

We will be staying at Wildbriar Lodge. You can see photos of the lodge by clicking here: https://www.largecabinrentals.com/cabins/wildbriar-lodge/. The lodge features a swimming pool, a hot tub, movie theatre, 16 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms and enough space in commons areas to house all of us!
