ABOUT POIEMA
What are we about?
Poiema was launched out of a passion to see young adults encouraged in their walk with Christ and to see them operating as vital members of their local congregations.
Often overlooked, too often not considered as important (until they are married) and sometimes limited in fellowshipping with peers due to the size of their church; Poiema was started to help yours and ours. And it seems to be working.
What is our Purpose?
The purpose of our retreats is to inform, encourage, and inspire Christian young adults regarding who they are in Christ. We see this as a life-awareness that is essential for everyone’s spiritual walk as well as the wellspring of joy and confidence.
After all, we are God’s workmanship (poiema) and we want that to set in, be real to us, and when it does: worldview, apologetics, theology, vocation, and, well…all of life is set and in perspective.
