20 - 22 March 2026
Faith is central to the Christian life, and it’s a word we’re all familiar with. But what does it actually mean? Why is it so important? What difference should our faith make to everyday life? If you’re an undergrad at Campus Church eager to build friendships and learn how to thrive spiritually at uni, come away for a weekend. We’ll dive into God’s word together, unpacking the topic of faith, and how this “familiar” word is so much deeper than we first realise.
Location
There’ll also be time to explore the beautiful alpine town of Hanmer Springs. Despite its size, Hanmer is a town with something for everyone: a forest to explore, a walk to a waterfall, hot pools, and gelato.
Undergrads! Come away for the weekend.
