3:23 creative Content retreat

The 3:23 Creative Content Retreat is an intentionally designed all-inclusive week-long retreat, packed with opportunities to fill up your portfolio, meet like-minded creators, dive deep into the word of God, worship in community, and explore God’s creation. With stylized photo and video shoots, educated biblical teachings, and quality time in the most beautiful locations, this retreat was carefully created to foster learning, community, spiritual growth, rest, and creativity.

3:23 exists through obedience. Four young creatives came together under Jesus Christ, saying yes to the Lord’s plan to foster a creative community, and the Holy Spirit took it from there.

Now, having seen the way the Lord has done more than we could have asked or imagined, our goal is to bring young artists together, encouraging them to use their craft as a tool for worship. We want to see creators of all statuses excelling in their giftings and stepping up into their callings, and we believe that is done through spiritual growth, professional development, rest, and discipleship.

3:23 is intentionally designed to hit every one of those marks and more. We pray that everyone who attends a 3:23 retreat leaves feeling more confident in their craft and their relationship with the Lord than ever before.

WHO ARE WE?

β€œWhatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23
