What is Resurrection?

Resurrection is an annual weekend retreat filled with worship and spiritual growth for youth and youth mentors. Each year thousands come together in Pigeon Forge, TN, to celebrate the God of The Resurrection. Through inspirational words and music led by nationally-known speakers and musicians, young people encounter the Lord in new and deeper ways.

We invite you to come and be with us and experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ—the One who is The Resurrection and The Life..

Worship

FRVR FREE Family

Returning for a fourth year, FRVR FREE began in 2016 as an event-driven nonprofit company. Over time, God caused this team to grow and transform into a family. The FRVR FREE Family consists of 35-40 individuals who are committed to living by the same value system, and whose mission statement is this: “We’ve been set free to set others free”. When we create experiences, our hope is that people would begin to understand how their Heavenly Father sees them, because when people have an accurate view of how God sees them, the possibilities are endless. This affords us the opportunity to see shame FALL and freedom RISE — and that's what it means to be FRVR FREE.
