Get ready to trade holiday stress for sandy toes, salty air, belly laughs, and the perfect start to the Christmas season.

We'll celebrate BIG Life style—with Christmas fun, meaningful moments, unforgettable conversations, and surprises along the way.

Most importantly, we'll create space to celebrate the greatest gift ever given: Jesus. Together we'll slow down, reconnect with God, and experience the hope, peace, joy, and love of the season.

This is a Christmas celebration, a girls' getaway, and a soul-refreshing weekend all wrapped into one.

BIG Life is all about living the big, beautiful life Jesus came to give us—with faith, friendship, adventure, and a whole lot of fun.

This alcohol-free retreat is designed for women who love Jesus, love people, and want to experience life fully.

Come alone or bring a friend—you'll leave with new friendships, deeper connections, and sisters who feel like family.

Day 1 – November 13 - Welcome to the Texas Coast

Your Christmas getaway begins at 5:00 PM at our private beach house in Port Aransas!

Come dressed in your most festive Christmas outfit (the more fun, the better - prizes are involved!) and gather together for a delicious dinner filled with everyone's favorite appetizers and desserts.

As the sun sets, we'll hop on golf carts for a festive coastal ride, followed by a beach bonfire complete with s'mores, laughter, and the official start of our Christmas weekend.

Day 2 – November 14 - Christmas Cheer on the Coast

We'll begin the day with breakfast together and a special devotional time to slow down and prepare our hearts for the weekend.

Then it's time to cook! We'll create a Christmas feast together filled with family recipes, laughter, and memories. (Bring your favorite recipe to share!)

After lunch, we'll hit the coast for golf cart adventures, beach games, sunshine, pool time, and a group shopping trip through downtown Port Aransas.

That evening, we'll gather for our BIG Life Christmas Gift Exchange! Bring a wrapped gift featuring a fun hat, bag, purse, or jewelry ($30–$40 value).

Day 3 – November 15 - A New Beginning

We'll begin our final morning with an optional sunrise ocean plunge and a special invitation of baptism—a beautiful reminder of new beginnings.

Then we'll gather for worship, breakfast, and reflection as we celebrate all God has done throughout our weekend together.

With full hearts and refreshed spirits, we'll say goodbye and begin our journeys home.
