The 2025 Replicate retreat is set for Sept. 19-21
Replicate is a weekend of life-changing messages, powerful worship, small groups, and interactive experiences challenging students to live a life full of purpose that impacts the Kingdom of God.
Replicate’s vision is to share the Gospel while also offering opportunities for students, youth pastors, and leaders to be equipped and empowered to reach this generation and fulfill the Great Commission.
The retreat is geared toward students in sixth through 12th grade. The event is hosted at Camp Siloam and sponsored by the Washington Madison Baptist Association, North Arkansas Baptist Association, and Arkansas Baptist State Convention.
“It’s been great to be a part of seeing and hearing young people making that decision to follow Jesus,” Ron Lomax, Washington Madison Baptist Association, said. “This retreat is evangelistic and discipleship oriented.”
Featured speakers this year include, Chris Kohlman and Sean Emory. Worship will be led by the Kasey Earl Band.
Additionally, the retreat features recreational activities, such as paint wars, and breakout sessions. Sessions this year include God’s Design for Sex (girls) with Rhonda Graham; God’s Design for Sex (boys) with David Graham; Social Media Theology with Bill Newton; and Deep Discipleship with Hayley Brightwell.
“Breakout sessions help the students learn how to deal with current issues from a biblical perspective,” Lomax said. “There are also breakout sessions for adult leaders to come together and learn from our speaker as well as others.”
Replicate started 11 years ago as the Washington Madison Baptist Association Youth Fall Retreat and has continued to grow into what it is today.
During the 2024 Replicate retreat, there were 20 salvations reported and 24 recommitments. Twenty-eight students expressed interest in baptism and 12 were called to missions or ministry.
