This is not the stereotypical retreat where every minute is busy with sessions. There is time for learning, sharing, worship, nature, fellowship, and being quiet.

The weekend is planned to help you experience God’s transforming grace through His Word that is rooted in truth.

We ask you to consider putting away your cell phone and other electronic devices during the weekend to allow you to focus on what God has for you. 

Reflect on your reasons for coming to the weekend. It is important for you to identify what you would like to focus on during the retreat. Also come with an open heart and mind, welcoming whatever God has for you. This reflection and intentionality will help you prepare your heart, mind, and spirit to get the most from this experience. 

The weekend is a time of spiritual discovery — about yourself, your relationship with God, as well as other key relationships in your life.

Several scriptures can help you prepare.

Colossians 1:27 NIV To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

2 Timothy 1:7 KJV For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

The entire weekend is designed to help you to connect to the truth about who you are in Christ and to have a deeper awareness of His presence and love.

We are praying that God will bless you and give you exactly what you need.
