Theme: "The Gospel of Your Salvation"
Hosted by: Research Academy of Yahshua
Dates: October 16–19, 2025
Location: Canyon Lake Resort – Reunion Lodge, Rapid City, South Dakota
The members of the Research Academy of Yahshua cordially invite you to join us for our second annual event titled “The Gospel of Your Salvation.” This document serves as a soft opening—a clear and honest outline to help you determine your desire to participate before full registration begins.
Our event is being held at a beautiful and remote location—the Canyon Lake Resort, specifically the Reunion Lodge—offering us a unique opportunity to take over the entire campus depending on interest. We’ve worked out a specific plan with the resort to roll out lodging in stages, based on how many sincere registrants step forward.
The resort can house up to 58 individuals, but our main lecture space will only hold around 30 people comfortably. Based on last year’s attendance, we feel this is in range. Still, we have contingency plans if we exceed this number.
The property has eight separate lodging buildings, all close to the main Reunion Lodge, where our lectures will take place (lower level). These buildings are part of the same resort campus, giving us the chance to create an immersive environment of learning, worship, and community.
We want this to feel like a full retreat experience: fellowship, shared meals, shared living spaces, and unified focus. This isn’t a luxury vacation—it’s a sincere gathering of believers seeking Yahweh.
We are rolling out this event step by step, based on motivated attendees. Lodging access will open as registration fills up. Here’s how it works:
First Goal – 20 Registrants:
We must first fill the Reunion Lodge Lower Level, which sleeps 20.
Once this level is filled, we’ll unlock access to the second floor.
Second Goal – 38 Registrants:
The Reunion Lodge Second Floor can accommodate 18 additional souls.
This gives us a total of 38 if both floors are filled.
Beyond That:
We’ll open additional buildings as more registrants confirm.
Lodging continues to roll out based on interest until July 15, 2025.
This process allows us to secure what we need only as we go—making wise use of our resources while ensuring the experience remains intimate and manageable.
This event is meant to be immersive, communal, and spiritually enriching. Here are a few key elements of the experience:
Shared Meals & Duties:
Participants will work together to help prepare and clean up after meals. We’re not offering luxury room service—you are coming to fellowship, serve, and learn.
Lodging Accommodations:
You’re reserving a berth (your own sleeping space), not a private room. Some berths may be in rooms with multiple beds, and yes, sometimes you'll be asked to bunk with others on a queen-sized bed—so consider attending with someone you’re comfortable with.
Remote Environment:
This resort is secluded—away from city distractions. No late-night snack runs or private rooms with TVs. It’s about being fully present in worship, learning, and togetherness.
Children Welcome:
Little ones are welcome, but be mindful—this setting may not be ideal for every child. Please consider your family’s comfort and needs.
