what

Winterfest is more than just another weekend retreat – it’s an experience! It’s an all-inclusive event providing food, lodging, recreational activities, teaching and an amazing program. It’s an incredible weekend of worship, new & old friends, great food, disc golf, giant inflatables, giveaways, awesome seminars, games & prizes. An amazing weekend that you will never forget!


OUR SPEAKER: Peter Ahn

Pastor Peter—or “PP” as his staff members call him—is the Lead Pastor at Metro Community Church in New Jersey where resides with his amazing wife, Jenny, and their three beautiful children, Christina, Kayla and Christian. He is a major proponent of the belief that spiritual health and physical health are closely linked and, thus, lives out this conviction by incorporating nutritious diet and consistent exercise into his daily schedule. Pastor Peter finds it difficult to name just one thing he loves about Pilgrim Pines and can’t wait to get to Winterfest and “keep things real at camp.”

Leading our Winterfest worship will be: Chasing The Light

Chasing The Light is a three piece band hailing from central Maine that employs a blend of anthemic music mixed with heartfelt and worshipful lyrics. The band’s lineup is comprised of singer/guitarist Abraham Stephens, drummer Nate DeLeon, and guitarist Evan LaFountain. They are pumped to return to Winterfest!
