HIGH SCHOOL WISCONSIN RETREAT
NOVEMBER 6 - 8, 2026
Christ Community Church invites high school students to a powerful weekend in Wisconsin. Fear has a way of keeping you on the sidelines.

BECOME A MEMBER
Membership is a way of saying “I’m all in! This church is my church.”
Christ Community offers a collection of videos and reading assignments that equips people to thrive as followers of Jesus in this local congregation. Taking this course is how people become official members here at Christ Community.
This online membership class is on-demand and can be started at any time. You can start, stop, and pick back up where you left off at your convenience. You’ll get to ask questions along the way and you’ll connect with a pastor for a one-on-one conversation at the end of the course.
NEW TO BIBLE READING?
Have you tried to read the Bible, but got confused or bored, so you stopped? Maybe you’re curious about the Bible, but you’re too intimidated to open it up. Maybe you’ve been to church, and they started talking about Moses or 2 Kings or the epistles, and you had no idea what they were talking about, but you were too embarrassed to ask someone about it.
Getting Started with the Bible is for you. This course begins from the basics, explaining what the Bible is, where it came from, how it’s organized, and what it contains. By the end, you'll also learn a simple approach to reading any passage of Scripture and discovering practical truths you can apply to your life. No prior knowledge of the Bible is necessary.
This online course is available on YouTube and suitable for individual study at your own pace or in a group setting.
FINISHING STRONG
Christ Community Church has launched a two-year campaign to adopt and revitalize two struggling churches in communities that need healthy, gospel-proclaiming, churches like Christ Community.
Whether you’re brand new or have been giving to Christ Community for a long time, you’re invited to prayerfully consider taking a bold step forward.
