PURSUIT WEEKEND
From October 16–18, RADIUS Students from all campuses came together for PURSUIT Weekend, an “at home” retreat hosted at RADIUS Lexington. The goal? Create a space where middle and high school students could invite their friends, experience Jesus, and discover just how much fun life with Him can be.
With 240 students in attendance and more than 60 adults serving as small group leaders, drivers, worship band members, registration volunteers, and clean-up crews, the energy was there from the very beginning!
We kicked things off Friday night worshiping alongside the Clemson FCA band, diving into the Word with Scott Shuford, and spending time in small groups before heading to BIG AIR for a late night full of jumping, dancing, and plenty of laughs.
Saturday kept the momentum going with morning worship and teaching, followed by team competitions and plenty of opportunities to build community. Students went head-to-head in everything from tug-of-war and dodgeball to Mario Kart, trivia, and a chaotic no-hands watermelon eating contest. (The winning team even took home the coveted Sour Patch statue!) The afternoon brought a Silent Disco, skits, visits from DJ Astro, and football during free time. There was no shortage of fun or opportunities for students and leaders to get to know each other better. We wrapped up Saturday with another powerful session, small group conversations, and a bonfire complete with s'mores before sending everyone back to their home campuses Sunday morning for breakfast and worship.
At the heart of it all, PURSUIT Weekend was about so much more than a fun weekend away. It was an opportunity for students to experience the joy of following Jesus, build meaningful relationships, and take steps in their faith. Following Jesus doesn't mean missing out on fun. It means finding something even better in Him and in the community He brings us into.
Weekends like this are one way we get to live out our mission to glorify God by planting churches that make disciples and live generously. Every leader who gave their weekend, every volunteer who served behind the scenes, and every adult who invested in a student was living generously with their time, energy, and gifts. Those relationships matter. They create opportunities to walk alongside students, point them to Jesus, and help them grow as disciples.
We're incredibly grateful for the volunteers across all our campuses who gave so generously to make PURSUIT Weekend happen. And we're thankful for the opportunity to see God at work in the next generation!
