WINTERFESt
February 14-16 2025
A spiritual retreat
in the Tennessee Mountains
Winterfest is a transformative weekend retreat that has been inspiring and empowering middle and high school students for 38 years. While it primary draws teens from the Churches of Christ, it welcomes groups from a variety of backgrounds.
The GSM participates in the Gatlinburg Winterfest, traveling every year to the wonderful state of Tennessee.
What you need to Know
The Gwinnett Student Ministry has been a proud participant in Winterfest for many years. Our dedicated group of students and volunteers know this incredible conference inside and out. Each year, thousands of like-minded individuals gather for this powerful weekend retreat, which is held in a safe and secure location. The cost for the event is $75.
Students will stay in hotel rooms with their group, organized by age and gender, and each room will have an adult chaperone.
Please note that meals are not included in the registration fee. However, the fee does cover your event ticket and lodging for the weekend.
