Retreat, refresh, renew and refuel. Leave the demands and responsibilities of everyday life and ministry behind for a few days and relax in a fun, peaceful, and safe environment. Experience time just to be; read, rest, take a walk in beautiful, natural surroundings where you can hear the whisper of God as He speaks to you. Enjoy time alone and time together with your spouse.

 

Your Retreat Coaches will be there to listen, encourage, support and love you while they pamper you. A blend of fun time, rest, and soul care will help you commune with God, and rediscover your joy in each other.
