What We Do

In our vision to share truth through grace, encourage wholeness through relationship with Jesus, and stand in faith through His Word we focus completely on Uniting to Know Jesus Christ.... in. everything. we. do.  God continues to prepare our core team and the other individuals He calls to be a part of the retreat lead teams in His timing.  We recognize that God pulls together what we call 'intimate tens' to lead the designing  of each retreat.  These intimate tens are a small team made up of ten or less individuals who are committed to meet at least one time a month solely for the purpose of focusing on Jesus in His Word, prayer, and worship.  We have discovered that as we unite with others we are led through a process that is found in Ephesians 4:11-16.
  1. Remember where we came from/what we were BEFORE we accepted Jesus as our Savior.  Ephesians 4:11-12
  2. Remember HOW we became ALIVE & ACCEPTED as a child of the King.  Ephesians 4:13-15
  3. TOGETHER we are ONE - the division is gone - we are ONE church BECAUSE of Jesus Christ.  Ephesians 4:16
These teams provide the components of the vision, hold the vision and aid in pulling together the smaller details of each retreat.  The Forged In Faith Oak Ministries team serves with each retreat lead team and pulls together most of the logistical details for the entire retreat.  As of now we know our calling is specific to Valley County Nebraska, but we do know that in His timing we will be uniting with individuals/teams/organizations across the state and the country to design retreats.  We welcome inquiries about our ministry and look forward to God providing avenues for us to unite and serve with you!  Please send all inquiries to unitetoknow@gmail.com.
In 2018, we were blessed to Unite to Know Jesus with many men, women, & families. We were led to launch our first men's gathering, Rough Rugged Ready, in June 2018.  In July, we launched our first women's Jesus leadership conference entitled Living Leadership.  We knew when we stepped into Cherished in 2017 that it would be a yearly gathering for women and once again in October 2018 we held our 2nd annual Cherished at Camp Riverview.  In December we held our first ever family gathering with Paint~Prayer~Praise.  

​We are very excited for what God has in store for 2019.  We are already moving into our first Spring Cherished being held on Saturday, March 9 at Homeward Trail Bible Camp near Mason City, Nebraska.
