Find Rest and Renewal for Your Spirit


This 24-hour retreat is intended as Sabbath time. It is not another class, and there is no required reading.

There will be time and space to rest, worship, and participate inĀ spiritualĀ formation experiences.

Our hope is that those who attend will experience a time of rest and renewal that is refreshing for their soul.

Take some time away this summer for spiritual renewal before you enter into the next season of ministry.
