The Torch Retreat is a 3 day, 2 night retreat for incoming UT Knoxville students. Students will have the chance to get to know ministries and churches in Knoxville. They will have the opportunity to get connected with upperclassmen and other freshmen, and encouraged in their walks with Christ - all before their first day of class!

The Torch Retreat 2025 details are coming soon!

The Torch Retreat seeks to glorify the Lord in every aspect of its existence by welcoming the incoming students to Knoxville and UT by showing them a glimpse of the local body of Christ, connecting them to the community, and equipping them to serve our campus and beyond.
