RETREAT
The retreat
This five-day retreat…
…is an invitation for you to experience a tangible encounter with God through worship, practical teachings, activations, intentional connections, moments of rest and stillness.
Journey with us into wholehearted living, even in the midst of the craziness that can happen in life with our jobs, family, friends and church. Come join us to encounter God, connect with others and receive empowerment to live out your season joyful in Him.

This retreat is for you
Whether you’re a wife, a mom, a businesswoman, a ministry leader, single, widowed, or walking through a season of healing after divorce, this retreat is a sacred invitation from the Father’s heart, just for you.
Because you weren’t created to run on empty. You were created for encounter, the kind that restores what’s been drained and revives what’s grown weary.
Take a step
Draw back, and draw near
The word “retreat” is rooted in a Latin word meaning “to draw back” or to “take a step backward.” Jesus Himself modeled retreating when He’d leave the crowds to be by Himself, to spend time in prayer and with His Father.
Come, rest, refresh, and enjoy our retreat alone, or invite your friend, sister, mother, small group or ministry group.
When was the last time you enjoyed a meal you didn’t have to prepare?
When it comes to meals, you won’t have to lift a finger. Breakfast, lunch, treats and dinner are lovingly prepared for you, so you can be fully present, fully fed, and fully free to enjoy every moment.
Special diets? We’ve got you. Many of our guests come with dietary needs or restrictions, and we’re happy to accommodate them. Just let us know in advance, and we’ll do our best to make sure you feel seen, cared for and well-fed.
