HIS PROMISE CONTINUES *
The IFGF East Coast Thanksgiving Retreat 2026 is a gathering where IFGF Columbus, IFGF Harrisburg, IFGF New York, IFGF Philadelphia, IFGF Scranton, and IFGF Washington DC come together as one family in Christ to seek God’s presence, grow in unity across generations, and experience meaningful fellowship, worship, prayer, and spiritual renewal together.
This year’s theme, Align in Promise, reminds us that God’s word remains faithful through every generation—and His promise continues to speak today.
❋ WORSHIP
Powerful moments in God’s presence through passionate worship, prayer, and encounters that draw us closer to Him and align our hearts with His voice.
❋ TEACHING
Spirit-filled sessions and practical encouragement that strengthen our faith, deepen our understanding of God’s Word, and equip us to live aligned with His purpose.
❋ FELLOWSHIP
Building meaningful connections across churches and generations through shared experiences, conversations, meals, and moments of community together.
