Read about Backyard Worship
Canadian worship collective Backyard Worship brings nothing new to the table. They, like many around them, write songs for the Church to use as anthems to worship Jesus.
Born in 2018, BYW began, writing and leading worship out of a burning desire to see Christ’s name lifted high. Not to perform or entertain the Church, but to simply and humbly lead others into worship of Jesus. They love the Word, Jesus, and His way. They long to bring Him glory with every moment.

Teaching Topic
Going Deep With God for All of Life: A Journey Through the Psalms
Life in your 20s can be full of questions, transitions, and big decisions. It’s a decade of growth, challenge, and searching for what’s real and lasting. In the Psalms, we find ancient songs that speak directly into the heart of every season — joy and struggle, confidence and doubt, clarity and confusion. They give us language for worship, for pain, for praise, and for perseverance.
This retreat is an invitation to go deeper with God — not just in the high points of life, but in every part of it.
We’ll explore four Psalms that give us a picture of what it means to live a life of worship:
- Psalm 1
- Psalm 2
- Psalm 13
- Psalm 84
Through these Psalms, we’ll consider what it looks like to worship God not just in music, but in the way we live, choose, trust, and seek Him.

The Prayer Room is Open!
At Muskoka Bible Centre, the breathtaking beauty of God’s creation invites reflection, renewal, and a deeper connection with Him. Free from the noise and busyness of daily life, we have the space to listen, seek, and draw near to the Lord.
Prayer is woven into the very fabric of MBC. Many of our retreats feature a Prayer Room—a peaceful, welcoming sanctuary where you can commune with God and rest in His presence. Whether you seek solitude, a moment of shared prayer with a friend, or the compassionate support of our trained Biblical Care staff, the Prayer Room is a space designed for you to encounter God.
Faith begins with a single prayer—an earnest cry for God’s saving grace. As we journey with Him, prayer remains vital, sustaining and strengthening our walk. Here, you can lay down your burdens, refresh your spirit, and pour out your heart to the One who knows and loves you completely.
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you."
— 1 Peter 5:7
Bringing a Group? We’re Here to Help.
Gathering others for an MBC Retreat creates space for renewal, connection, and time with Jesus—and we want to make it easy for you.
You’ll get access to planning tools, promo support, and a dedicated contact to walk with you every step of the way—plus, enjoy a little thank-you gift just for putting it all together!
