January 31st - February 2nd, 2025

Grades 7 - 12

Side X Side is our winter youth retreat for students in grades 7-12. Those in the high school, face more and new challenges than ever before. Side X Side leadership will give them relevant, meaningful insights from God’s word to help them face the challenges of everyday life.

 

PASTOR Wade Mobley

Pastor Wade Mobley serves as President of the Free Lutheran Bible College and Seminary in Plymouth, MN, where he lives with his wife Michele and two children, Hannah and Ben. Before coming to FLBCS he served as a pastor in Sioux Falls, SD. He likes thinking, reading, writing, athletic endeavors, and most things philosophical, historical, or physics-related. More than anything, he likes telling people about Jesus from God’s Word. When Pastor Mobley was your age he was a church-going atheist, trying to be a good kid and stay out of trouble, but not really believing anything about Jesus. It’s different now, and maybe he’ll tell you about that at camp.
