Beach Retreat 2009

Each year Second Baptist Church spends two weeks at the beach with Jr-High and High School students for beach retreat. In addition to free time at the beach, the students spend time focused on bible study, silent sounds, and worship.

This year 2,734 students and leaders attended beach retreat in Gulf Shores, Alabama and South Padre, Texas.

While at beach retreat, we document the experience and capture the stories of students who life's are changed while at beach retreat. The weekend following beach retreats we show a 30 minute documentary in worship services at all 5 campuses. 

This is the introduction to the 2009 Beach Retreat documentary.
