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.

connected to God.
In this retreat we will explore ways to become more aware of God’s Presence through mind, body and spirit and to lean into those connection to God, one another, and our own soul in the midst of daily life.
“Carving out intentional space to reflect on my relationship with God – tethered not only to the Divine but to a community of believers – reminded me how sacred our share journey can be.” - Lisa B.
