Be Weather Aware: Winter Storm Warning Saturday – Monday in our area. Please monitor local weather and campus notifications for updates.
As part of Asbury’s ongoing investment in young alumni*, this retreat creates space to deepen your faith, navigate real-life challenges, and reconnect with a Christ-centered community. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening your walk with Christ, building practical life skills, gaining financial confidence, and growing in the habits and relationships that shape a life of faithful presence—wherever God has called you.
* This retreat is available for traditional undergraduate alumni that have graduated in the last five years.

The purpose of the Launching Well Retreat is to create intentional space for young alumni to pause, deepen their faith, and reconnect with Christ-centered community as they navigate life after graduation.
We believe intentional community is developed and cultivated when we are in the same space. This weekend is set aside to grow, reconnect, and be equipped to do all that God has called you to be and do.
