Retreats
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Matthew 22:37-39
The goal of spiritual formation ministry is that we become people who love. People who love God and others and themselves generously, compassionately, sacrificially, and wholeheartedly. People who love like Jesus.
To love well, we need to be people who pay attention to what God is doing and wants to be doing, in us and around us. That’s why retreats are so important.
Retreats help us to create space in our lives away from the noise and the busyness where we can stop, breathe, and rest. They provide space for us to listen for God, to understand our own thoughts, and for God to breathe new life into us.

Upcoming pilgrimage in 2026
Spain Pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago
*OUR SPRING 2026 TRIP IS FULL* But things change. If you are interested in joining the waitlist, please contact Jayne Davis at jdavis@fbcwilmington.org.
Due to the large response to the Spring 2026 Spain Camino Pilgrimage, we are considering offering a second pilgrimage opportunity in October 2026, if there is enough interest. If you are interested in participating or learning more about the pilgrimage, contact Jayne Davis at jdavis@fbcwilmington.org.
Spiritual pilgrimages are an opportunity to move out of our comfort zones and set aside time, apart from our normal routines, in unfamiliar places, to walk with God and with one fellow pilgrims. Together we will walk about 68 miles over six days on the Camino Espiritual, also known as the Arousa Sea Route, a spiritual variant of the Camino Portugues, from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
The route follows the path that the Apostle St James' body is believed to have taken to Santiago de Compostela. It includes a boat ride across the Arousa Estuary from Vilanova de Arousa to Padron.
Cost is $1,300 + Airfare.
