Scheduled Retreats and Programs

Is God stirring your heart toward deeper prayer, clearer discernment, renewed faith, or simply peaceful rest in His presence? Our retreat offerings are prayerfully planned to provide transformative encounters with Christ for every stage of your spiritual journey.

We invite you to browse our upcoming opportunities below and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you toward the retreat experience He has prepared for your heart. Whether you have a weekend, a day, or longer to dedicate to sacred time with God, we believe He is calling you to take this important step in your faith journey.

Many of our retreats are blessed with full participation, so we encourage prayerful consideration and early response to the Spirit’s promptings. Remember, our low-cost fee model reflects our belief that God provides ways for every sincere heart to experience the spiritual renewal they seek.
