Program & Event Calendar

Road Scholar participants come to Montreat from every walk of life to learn together, to exchange ideas, and to explore the world.

Keep Going! What do YOU need to keep going, to keep moving forward? When it’s hard to get motivated? When it’s all piled up? When you’d rather just go play? When life is crazy? Psalm 121 reminds us where our help to keep going comes from. Our help comes from the Lord. No matter what obstacles or twists or turns present themselves, God is always with us – by our side – to help us KEEP GOING!

The Manna Retreat is three days, 100 young adults, one old hotel, and ten small groups dedicated to creating deeper faith and deeper relationships. If your faith could use a deep laugh, if your heart could use some new friendships, or if your body could use a place to belong, then this is for you.

Explore the challenges of leadership in this time and place as a way to critically reflect as well explore tangible practices aimed at building capacity and endurance.
