Higher Ground College Retreat
Beginning in June, 2000, Higher Ground III was launched as the next step in the Higher Ground
family. In 2004 the Higher Ground III name was changed to Higher Ground College Retreat.
It is directed toward young adults who have attended Higher Ground II or who are one year out
of high school (even if they haven't attended Higher Ground or Higher Ground II).
The Higher Ground College Retreat is built upon the spirit, the experience and the foundation of
Higher Ground and Higher Ground II.
The retreat experience is based upon the Biblical pattern of Apostleship:
First, one is called to a relationship with Christ, by developing methods of prayer and by discerning one's call to follow Christ.
Second, one is taught the way of Christ, by training in Christian leadership skills.
Third, one is sent on a mission for Christ, by developing an action plan and a plan of follow-up that young people can accomplish after the retreat is completed.
The overall purpose of the week is to enable young people to explore the ways they are sent
into the world as Apostles of Jesus Christ and to create action plans to carry out that mission.
The Higher Ground College Retreat will be held at the Nebraska State 4-H Camp in Halsey. The
week begins at 4 p.m. CT, Monday and ends at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday.
The cost of the week is $150.
